Thank you, Jeff and Eva. What great fun. Climbing around vacant, freezing, breezy old buildings, full of fantasy things and perils was a new and exciting experience. Nurse Eva even had foot and hand warmers for the needy amongst us. Seeing friends who visit here in Ohio, renewing friendships started at Bill Schwab’s events three and four years ago was a hoped for pleasure. The Kertesz exhibit was a delight. He has long been a book favorite, but never previously seen in original prints. The Middle Eastern and Mexican restaurants were really a pleasure, for the taste treats and the opportunity to talk with old and new friends. I would have loved to see more work from people there, but what we saw was really great.
You were wonderful hosts, knowing just how to treat and torture. I was grateful the cats did not wipe out my breathing. Even the snow held off until I was within a mile or two of home. Roommate Dan Henderson was driving right into it. Hope you and everyone else made it safely home.
Jeff and Eva, it was a tremendous success. I hope it will be the first of many more.
