I grew up in central New Jersey and NYC, but spent much time in the Philadelphia area as a young man. Both the BRM and Longwood Gardens became two of my favorite places. I have vived memories of Christmas at Longwood Gardens, afternoons lookings at Wyeth paintings and wonderful meals in small village resturants. How Chester County managed to maintain such an endearing rural atmosphere is beyond me. I hope it is still that way. What fond memories you bring back for me!

A friend of mine had just purchased wine and liquor for a Christmas party (it was very cumbersome and heavy), as she walked from the store a man approached her. Dressed very casually, rumpled hat and beard - he asked if he could take her purchases to her car. She accepted and then went back in the store to pay the bill. The clerk asked her if she knew who that man was, she said No. Andrew Wyeth was the answer. Yes he was an integral part of of our lives in Chester County and we will all miss him greatly. We are very fortunate that the Brandywine River Museum will always be there so we can view his works, his Dad's and his son's anytime we want.

The Wyeth collection is here in Pennsylvania? I had no idea -- thanks for mentioning it. We'll go see it when it's warmer than the current -9 degrees. Speaking of historical collections, the Columbus (as in Christopher) chapel is here in Boalsburg, in Centre County, if you're ever up this way. Really? The Wyeth collection is here in Pennsylvania?
