Born: Chicago Heights, home of Columbia Tool Steel (now closed). Raised: Homewood, next door to Flossmoor, home of Beryl Sprinkel, Undersecretary of Monetary Affairs under Reagan and solo tenor in our church's choir. Oy.
Every day for a year I will post a new painting or drawing of treasures found during beach walks.
On June 26, 2010, South Street Gallery (located in Greenport, Long Island) will exhibit the entire body of work--all 365 pieces. There will be a preview showing the day before the opening. Please visit the gallery's website:

Where did you grow up? What can you tell me about those towns?
Another great piece.
