Travel and photography have been Jerry Porter’s principal avocations. He has traveled throughout the world (every continent except Antarctica). He has seen many interesting things, but by far the most interesting things are not “things” but people. The memories he most treasures are the children of the world because they are the future of the world. He has chosen photographs of children from 20 different countries for his exhibit. Chil-dren: Photographs by Jerry Porter is on display at the Burrison Gallery in the University Club from March 10 through April 12 with a reception on March 15. See Exhibits.
