Sketch Me If You Can

From a 40 Year Collection of Sketchbooks

Travels through the life of Ernest Abernathy have taken him through forty-three different countries, four oceans, nine seas, deserts, swamps, Arctic ice, the Alps, diverse fields and forests, and included a myriad of blue-collar jobs such as ditch digger, common laborer, lumberjack, circus worker, milkman, typist, trucker, postman, landscaper, security guard, dock loader, as a physician, and as a soldier. As a combat surgeon for the 82nd Airborne, he was awarded a Bronze Medal by the U.S. Army. He often had a sketch book along.
