Curator's Comment
When Jonathan Uman was a teenager, he played the bass, imitated Elvis, and dreamed of owning a Porsche sports car. His stepfather Harvey told him that if he went to a local college that offered lower in-state tuition, the family would be able to buy him that car. Jonathan instead decided to attend Carnegie Mellon University and someday purchase a Porsche on his own. In spring 2001, he did just that. Harvey later recalled the “beaming smiles” and “roaring laughter” the two shared during their first ride in the Porsche as some of his happiest memories with Jonathan.
