storm 1

Howard Storm, born 1946...

received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1969, and continued his studies at the University of California at Berkeley with a Master of Arts and Master of Fine Arts in 1970. In 1972, Storm moved to NKU Northern Kentucky University, becoming an arts professor at a newly created department, rapidly achieving tenure, a position he held for 20 years. 









In June 1985... 

Storm took a group of his students on a field trip to Europe. After returning to his Paris hotel room with his wife around 11am from a morning excursion, he had a sudden onset of severe abdominal pain. 

He was evaluated at Paris Hôpital Cochin, and diagnosed with a duodenal perforation, which required surgery. The earliest a surgeon could perform this procedure was around 9pm that day. 

As he lay waiting for surgery, he truly believed that he was going to die due to the severity of his pain and so mentally prepared himself for death. After saying goodbye to his wife...

he eventually passed out...
