[MD] Edward Hopper - an aside

[MarshaV]

KO,

You're a painter.  That wonderful!   I think I vaguely remember some 
Hopper paintings at the Neuberger Museum of Art at SUNY, Purchase, 
NY.  That's nearby. Like I mentioned, I didn't pay much attention to 
Hopper.  Now I'm really looking forward to a chance to a more 
concentrated experience.  -  It sounds as if you saw a wonderful 
exhibition.  That must have had an impact.
