Gift of William P. Bishop in memory of Lillian Green Bishop
2009.34
When I was little, I had an elderly relative who had this kind of intensity of feeling in his face. I was a little afraid of him, but he turned out to be a very kind person. He had earned his face. He raised and canned his own vegetables, and had a great sense of humor. He lived to be 102, and was driving until the last year of his life. He’d go visit the 80-year-olds at the nursing homes.
