My friend Helen is exhibiting her artwork in Cold Spring Harbor. Tonight we attended an Artist Reception for the show.
The work (watercolors) is beautiful. Helen is patently talented and the subjects of her paintings are joyous. While at the reception we had several nice chats with Helen.
A bonus of the event was running into someone I knew 60 years ago and haven't seen since (Tom). Tom's father Tony worked with my father when they were both police officers in Lloyd Harbor. Our families socialized together at annual Police Department events, like summer beach parties and Christmas parties. I remember Tom and his brothers but haven't seen him in over a half-century. Catching up was fun. I learned he, too, used to ride motorcycles.
Here's a picture from one of those 1960s Christmas parties. Can you find me in it?
Let me guess, are you the second guy from the right in the front row?
ReplyDeleteNope. I was much younger then; about 8 years old.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely evening out. I need to find a good gallery exhibit when my city reopens after the storm.
ReplyDeleteI actually spotted your dad immediately, familiar from your family posts, and thought that the kid looked similar to you but not quite- then spotted you!
Impressive!
DeleteAre you the toddler looking to the right on someone's knee?
ReplyDeleteThat painting of walking in the snow is really lovely! Your friend Helen is very talented. I am glad you were able to go along to support her!x
We bought that painting! It'll soon hang in our home.
DeletePhoto: No, I was a little older (maybe 8). I'm the fourth person from the left in the bottom row. Thanks for guessing!
