Wow what an exhibit (Scroll down when you hit the link). We went out to see it last night. Much larger space than The Blaze in Croton. Below are just a couple of Brigid’s doings – she designed Liberty (about 25 feet tall) and a couple of her carvings. I’m going to post much more … Read more

Whitey Ford
Oh no! Sad day in Farandaville. Whitey Ford – along with Yogi Berra – favorite Yankee. The great left handed pitcher with the best (690) winning percentage of the 20th century. And his lifetime ERA (earned run average) was an incredible 2.75. I’m also left handed and my first baseball glove was the Whitey Ford … Read more
