Anita Weschler’s Credo
“The core of life is both profound and simple.
It is the scope of an artist’s emotional life
which is recorded for the enrichment of the observer.”

Just looking through. I was Herb and Anita’s CPA in NY for a few years. They were an interesting couple. I am in Charlotte now.
