Kalinowski,
Jack Charney is not just a young
man whowas anaccidentvictim in
Egypt. He is an ex-teacher, a poet,
a vegetarian, a world traveler, a
potter, a playwright and aspires to
be many more things. Twenty-
eight year old Charney, whose
major love is ‘‘the Arts”, did not
object when the term
“Renaissance Man’’ was used to
describe him.
Charney, who was in Egypt on
the last leg of a two-year trip
studying native crafts worldwide,
comes by his love of travel
honestly. During the 22 years his
father John Charney served in the
Air Force, the family moved 18
times and lived in numerous
foreign countries.
Jack himself stayed in Florida to
graduate from South Dade County
High School after his dad retired
and returned to the area. He then
wenton to Atnioch College in Ohio
where he majored in Art and
Education.
“I designed. my own college
program which included spending
two years in South America,” he
explained. ‘‘I studied native
craftsmen-in Guatemala, Mexico,
El Salvador and Peru.” His in-
terest in traditional art continues
to this day. “I want to be in-
fluenced by the people... the
craftsmen, the original artists who
are still producing in this cen-
tury,” he stated.
Jack’s ‘interest in pottery also
has its practical side with his mug
and a clay bowl fashioned by him
using an ancient Mexican process
displayed prominently on his
hospital tray. The bowl was filled
with chopped beets which his
girlfriend, Lynda Feman ‘of
brought him along with a bouquet
of bright, green parsley.
Lynda, who had left Egypt only
weeks before Jack’s accident had
been a college classmate as well as
a fellow teacher at The Stowe
School in Vermont. While at Stowe,
Jack taught art, theater, literature
and philosophy:
He is presently writing a play
about ‘whole people-ar t types that
society produced in the past’ who
have been “displaced, forgotten in
modern: industrial society.” He
hopes we ‘‘are entering a post-
industrial union of art types.”
A native craft particular to this
area is also prominently displayed
in his hospital room. It is a cross
fashioned of wooden match sticks
which Jack says is “unique - I've
never seen them anyplace else in
the world.”
After his recuperation, at the
family, home in Dallas; Jack who
definitely has more than a ‘glint of
wanderlust in his eye, will be of f to
see the world again. This time he
and Lynda plan to go to Santa Fe,
New Mexico and ‘‘make Art” as it
is represented in teh Southwes tern
United States.
Despite his experience, Jack
does not rule out the possibility
that some day he might return to
Egypt, expressing understanding
that ‘‘things are different in a
Third World country.” In his owns
words, traveling and seeing what’s
out there are Jack Charney’s thing
- “It sets my imagination on fire.”
