NotesSubject Note: In the "Artwork Catalog," there is an entry for an oil painting called "New London Houses." It is probably the same one as depicted in the photograph, although in the catalog the date is 1959, not 1958. According to the catalog, it was exhibited at the Wiley Gallery in Hartford, 1960; Panoras Gallery in New York City, 1960; the Silvermine Guild Arts Center, 1960; the Decatur Art Center in Illinois, 1961; the Korvette Art Gallery in Hartford, Connecticut, 1962; and an alumni exhibition at the University of Hartford in 1963. In 1964, it was sold into the collection of Jim Russell, an architect.
