Our first date, about June 1, 1945, was a canoe ride on the Ipswich River. Louis wouldn't let me paddle although I was eager to show him that I knew how. He, in the stern facing me, made two unforgettable comments: "Ideas run the world," he said, and "Very soon you will be throwing away those artist's brushes because pictures will be made by electronics." I listened, thinking silently that other things as well as ideas run the world. I also kept my artist's brushes and have made many an oil painting since then.
We were married a little over a year later, on June 22, 1946. |
