Introduction
This blog is dedicated to Carola L. Gough, who lived from April 17th, 1911 to July 25th, 2007. Here life and her influence will continue to be known and felt by the activities pursued by this foundation. This blog will chronicle our journey and allow for interaction from family and friends.

Foundation Long Term Goals

• Publish a "coffee table" style book for Carola's family and friends that contains pictures of her paintings and highlights from her written journals and correspondence.
  
• Promote her legacy by presenting the book and her web site and 3D Art Gallery at local art circles and associations, in the same way she did during her life.
• Organize events to expose under-privileged youth to the wonders of Art and Science.
