With my BA in art history from the University of Kansas, I've spent much time at the Nelson-Atkins. Also, I'm originally from Lorain, OH, up the street from Oberlin. So I hope path-crossing in Cincinnati will result in our meeting each other sometime soon.
Welcome back to Ohio and into my neighborhood....again.
