    Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.

Art

Creativity unleashed

By LENNIE BENNETT
Published July 21, 2005


Your pet disappears. You want closure. What do you do? If you're playwright and author Bill Leavengood, you write about it.

Cat Moon Do is a children's book with illustrations by Michelle Feulner-Castro about a missing cat and his feline pals who set out to find him. Feulner-Castro's charming paintings for it, including one shown above, will be on display at the Arts Center, 719 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, beginning Friday through Aug. 21. Unlike most real-life tales of lost pets, including Leavengood's, this one ends happily.

Leavengood will be at the Arts Center at 11 a.m. Aug. 3 for a reading of Cat Moon Do.

Also opening at the Arts Center, "Marks and Metaphor: 2005 Members' Exhibition," "Rose Marie Prins: Enigmas" and "Rebecca Skelton: Rondo." (727) 822-7872.
