The Art Institute of Philadelphia is losing one of its great faculty members, Jay Pastelak. He taught in the photography department for about 35 years. He was also one of our union's best presidents and most ardent supporters. I went to Ladder 15 in Philadelphia to join a grateful bunch wishing our friend all the best. I also learned about what has been going on at the school since I quit in 2013.
