We visited the O'Keefe when we were in Santa Fe and you gave it a whole new dimension with both the story and the photos. Thanks for the great read, Bob.

Karsch, O'Keefe, a good story: how heartily I have "breakfasted" this morning. I too have long been an admirer of both K and O'K. In fact, this summer I came across an acrylic/wood replica of one of O'Keefe's "skulls". Its $9 price tag, a stretch for my annual art budget, had been marked down from $40, because the little solar thingy inside to light up the eyes was broken. I think this a good thing, though. And I think Georgia would agree (of ditching the light, I mean, not necessarily of buying cheap art at a Pharmasave megastore.)

Loved this story Bob. I hate to tell you this but I once owned a print of that Karsh photo of Georgia. I sold it to help pay for a three week safari in Africa. I loved it but knew I’d see lots of Georgia in New Mexico. And today we went to a great exhibit at the Albuquerque Museum - Georgia O’Keeffe and Henry Moore. Lots of wonderful paintings and sculptures.
