  WELCOME ALL SAN PASQUAL ACADEMY ALUMNAI TO THIS WEBSITE.. WALT LARSEN CLASS OF 54 SPA. ESCONDIDO, CALIFORNIA and MY BELOVED WIFE NANCY LEE MEDVEE LARSEN CLASS OF 58 TAKOMA ACADEMY, TAKOMA PARK, MARYLAND. We met while I was assigned to the SDA Whitecoats at Frederick, Maryland "ARAMID" We married on February 22, 1959 THE SILVER SCULPTURE BELOW IS ONE I CREATED IN NINETEEN SEVENTY ONE, USING THE LOST WAX PROCESS. I CARVED IT IN WAX AND THEN MADE A HEAT RESISTANT PLASTER MOLD, AND THEN BURN OUT LEFT A HOLE WITH ALL THE DETAILS, AND THEN I CENTRIFUGED OR SPUN AMOLTEN SILVER INTO THE MOLD. AFTER THAT I QUENCHED THE MOLD IN COLD WATER AND DESTROYED THE MOLD AND RETRIEVED THE NEAR FINISHED PRODUCT. THE BLACK PATINA WAS BORN WHEN I SOAKED THE HORSE IN SULFURIC ACID. I ALSO CAST THE FALLEN HORSE AND THE BASE UPON WHICH THE ARTIFACTS ARE PLACED. THE PHOTO IS ACTUAL SIZE. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I CREATED THIS OBJECT OVER FORTY ONE FORTY YEARS AGO? i STILL HAVE ALL THE HARDWARE AND TOOLS IN THE GARAGE TO MAKE MORE. AND THAT IS WHAT I PLAN TO DO IN THE FUTURE, FOR I MUST CREATE SOMETHING OR ANYTHING. 
 A SELF CREATED CLAY SCULPTURE OF YOURS TRULY. I LIKE TO SCULPT DIFFICULT FACES, AND IT IS QUITE A CHALLENGING TRIAL MY TALENTS INCLUDE BEING A SCULPTOR, PENCIL ARTIST, OIL PAINTER, LOST WAX PRECIOUS METALS CASTING AND CLAY PORTRAITURE, AND POET OF THE HEART IS MINE TO GIVE TO POSTERITY, NO MATTER HOW MUNDANEI REMAIN IN NAME WALT LARSEN
