He helped her advance her career and she was very grateful. SOURCE BELOW – While teaching art in Texas, Victoria discovered the talent of one of her students -- Texie Myers. I tell that story below. This photo of Myers with one of her sculptures is from the May 21, 1922 Vancouver Sun (British Columbia). Eternal Man Beneath Momentary Man “History has its truth, and so has legend.
