Sloy did the drawings and Dave made the box which they gifted to the Sackners in memory of their visit to their studio home in 2009. During this first meeting, the Sackners mentioned one of their favorite, unusual words that almost eveyone does at sometime in their house. Scurryfunge is an archaic English word that means "a hasty tidying of the house between the time you see a neighbor and the time she knocks on the door." Sloy liked it so much that she did these fantastic calligraphic drawings that featured this word. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
