Wow, what a great evening that was, and the conference was just better because of it. I especially appreciated feeling comfortable to talk to so many more people while at the conference because of knowing them through the forum

The last time I saw Linda she was driving a large rig out of Minnesota, and I might add appropriately dressed and groomed. Imagine my surprise, when she showed uo at the dinner looking like a runway model.

Overwhelmed by the presence of greatness, it was hard to keep my concentration on my driving.

I must tell you that Marvin is quite tall, so it was quite an aerobic feat for Haleh, about 5'4" and moi 5' 7" to keep up with him as he buzz-sawed through the Boston Museums devouring any crumbs of the poorly underepresented Boston School he could find. It was rather like a giant hawk with two pigeons scrambling behind him.

I must say, with Marvin's tutelage, my appreciation for the Boston School and its adherants increased. Oddly enough, I WENT to the Boston Museum School and never heard whispers of Paxton, De Camp or Tarbell. Sneaking around various sites trying to unveil their painting secrets, I also discovered an exquisite portrait by Arthur Pope, previously unknown to me.

Thank You Marvin for a wonderful day!
