Common interest draws people together. Jouette Travis, whom I saw at a Design District gallery, discovered that we have had mutual friends over the decades. These include award-winning filmmaker and advertising executive David Haspel and the late Rick Brettell, who has had maybe more influence on art and architecture than anyone in Dallas. Interestingly, David Haspel arranged for a Tracy-Locke art director to design my first real estate sign that included the photorealism painting by Brian Cobble mentioned in another Life in Dallas post. Jouette is a special talent with a wide range of interests and expertise, and it is a delight any time I have an opportunity to see her.
