If anyone would be interested in joining with me at a museum, etc., or sharing a ride up to Boston (I'm starting from Philadelphia, and passing by N.Y.C., New Haven, etc.), please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi,
There is a portrait exhibit, that (ahem) I and other local worthies are participating at at the Copley Society, 158 Newbury St., just up from the Voses.
The Voses are a class act, I partcipated in a show there last year. They have some beautiful stuff there including a Benson portrait to die for. Who's showing there now? I'd like to see it.
Go to the Gardner Museum on the Fenway, near the Boston Museum. Tres beautiful. It has Degas, Van Dykes, too many to mention.
One block over from Newbury St. is Commonwealth Ave.. The center strip is a sculpture garden with many neat and interesting pieces along the way. The Boston Public Garden sports the fabulous St. Gaudens memorial to the Civil War. All are within a relatively easy stroll of each other.
Reasonable good eats at Betty's Wok and Noodle on Huntington Ave, across from the symphony.
Have fun!
