Picture by artist and Vietnam War veteran C. David Thomas in the show "In War and After: The Art of Combat Veterans,'' at the Cultural Center at Rocky Neck,  Gloucester, May 17-24  He says of this image: "It is one of about a dozen puzzle images I made around 2000.  The images are from my childhood and  a few from the Vietnam War.  This piece is somewhat autobiographical with me on the left and my father on the right.  ... He was in the Navy during World War II and I was in the Army in Vietnam.''

Mr. Thomas is the founder of the Indochina Arts Partnership.
