A place on a lake in Michigan
My sister Susan, a high-powered scientist who has lived in and traveled to beautiful places all over the world, told the story. Her workout group of equally high-powered and disciplined sorts was trading stories about where they’d live if they could live anywhere. An atelier in Paris – a beach in Fiji – a Manhattan co-op .

Wilkinson Wishing (for a) Well
July 22, 2008
Perhaps you have run into Loraine and Jim Mottern on a rainy day and wondered why they seemed so cheerful. I will tell you why.

This week: The Eastport Market’s outdoor produce section is open under the awning Dockworks is pulling boats […]
Betty’s Bench
May 27, 2008
Everyone who knows her – or who read about Betty Beeby on the occasion of her 85th birthday – knows about the bench she commissioned for the Pearl family section in Lakeview Cemetery. Blacksmith Art Brown translated Betty’s design into wrought iron at his studio at Torch Tip Ironworks. In April I dropped by to see the work in progress, and […]
