Keith Havens, ’49 Author, Artist, Inventor His imagination was never-ending: his images were on gallery walls; his caricatures graced magazines and calendars; his patents proved his ingenuity.	Ari Fishman, ’97 Producer At 18, Ari Fishman didn't originally plan on working in TV, or at anything in particular. He just thought art school might be cool. But then he ended up as Jon Stewart's producer.
Scott Seekins, ’64 Painter For decades now, Seekins has made himself a work of art.	Chris Rand, ’00 Custom Metalworker He may design with a computer, but in reality Rand is a modern update to the village blacksmith.
