23. One of His Students Became His Manager
Annette Kowalski signed up for a painting class wanting to see Ross’ mentor. She was initially disappointed when Ross himself took over the course, but she quickly became impressed with his style and demeanor. She saw a star in Ross and offered to become his manager. Working together, they were able to build a multi-million dollar business of Bob Ross art supplies. While Ross was very particular about his business, Kowalski states she wishes to have him back alive more than anything.
