2. He was a great. His son Jamie is also great in his own right.
But it must be difficult living in the old man's shadow.

5. that picture
was a favorite of my dear friend Oneighty. He would say , Midget ( thats what he called me) I wonder if she made it to that farm house, and what did she find when she got there, it looks so barren and she is so frail.

damn I miss that old man

6. that picture
was used by a mental health agency, I had 'grown up' loving the Wyeth's and their abilities, I had to find out what that picture really was about since I didn't like/approve of using it for marketing, and Christina had polio, she often pulled herself across her lawn to her house. Wyeth paintings are often pictures of his neighbors.

8. The reason why she is posed like that is because she has polio.
Look at her arms.
