My sentiments exactly, Laurie. That's the reason I've spent so much time in rural Vermont. I rented Rockwell's home on River Rd. in Arlington for a week once and the model for "The Babysitter" has waited on me many times in her son's diner. (She's still there) I have a stone from the chimney of his studio that burned down.... somewhere.

You're selling yourself short, Lane. That was a fantastic article. Great job.
