Joe,
I thought your painting was marvelous, and I'm sure the membership would
love to see it. Very, very well done.

>>Since the topic of the Bliss Farm just came up, I thought I'd take this
opportunity to announce that I finished a painting of the farm-prebattle.
I've spent a good deal of time collecting physical information such as
Christ, Adams Co. realty records maps of the area, taking pix of local
barns and houses that are similar and the statement Bliss used to request
compensation. As fate would have it much of the info. is conflicting. I
completed dozens of sketches of various possibilities and settled on the
most likely. In the last few weeks I've sent jpegs of the painting to some
of the members of the GDG. Thank goodness everyone has been more than kind.
I hope to be at this years Muster to display the painting. It has been
suggested that I seek to have it shown in the new Visitors Center. I would
be very happy to do this but am not sure how to go about it. If anyone has
any directions, I'm all ears.
