Laughter and tears of joy filled the Muchnic Art Gallery Friday evening, as former students and colleagues paid tribute to long-time Atchison Public Schools art teacher and artist, Max King.
Former student and friend, Patty Boldridge, was one of several who took part in a friendly roast of King, who obliged by sitting on a throne and donning a crown.

Fultz says it was King's encouragement that led him into his career as an art director for a marketing company in St. Joseph.
The evening's activities, sponsored by the Atchison Art Association, also included the opening of the Max King lifetime retrospective show.
King's art will be on display at the Muchnic Gallery through September 29th.
