[Leica] Eloise

[cummer at netvigator.com (H&ECummer)]

Thanks Douglas,
The elder Eloise is an especially fine lady and not stuck on her role at the 
MOMA at all.
If prodded she can tell you the most amazing stories about Brazil, Russian 
and Japan.
A remarkable lady and I hope she stays with us long enough that her namesake 
grows
up enough to know and remember her.
Thanks again
Howard

She's a little dote.

Well done Howard, going on my children's grandparents, I know you'll claim 
the credit for everything good about the baby :-)

I also had a read about your other Elois. Interesting piece. Ironically, I 
went for a walk along Dun Laoghaire pier this afternoon with my brother and 
his wife Annette and they were talking about their trip to NY last week. 
Annette mentioned they had gone to MOMA and after a couple of hours of 
general wandering had asked an attendant where she could see Ansel Adams 
prints. The attendant apparently said something on the lines of  "We have 75 
exhibitions here, so I wouldn't know!" That comment doesn't gel with the 
ethos and committment that your Eloise expounded in her interview...

Times change.
