Hi Eva, What do you mean by "Bozart?"

Here's a recent letter to the editor of the auburnpub.com by Marie C. Paulino and Richard G. Paulino.

"The third anniversary of the secretive removal of the Thomas Cole oil painting tilted "Portage Falls on the Genesee 1839," from the William H. Seward Museum is upon us. The plight to bring it back to its home on South Street is still unresolved in the courts and New York State Attorney General's Office.

"Our thoughts are the Fred L. Emerson Foundation had a special project agenda for about five years previous to the date of Feb. 21, 2013 when the painting was removed by them in the early hours...

"No one knows where the painting resides or the condition it is in. They replaced the empty space in a drawing room where it hung for decades with a reproduction, which we feel is an insult to Mr. William H. Seward and his descendants and his legacy."

"Marie Paulino is a former docent volunteer tour guide at William H. Seward Museum, and Richard Paulino is a former board member and volunteer"
