P.M. – Edgar Schenck came out & picked up “Sun & Rocks” and “Song of the Marsh” for the Contemporary Art Room Committee to consider as a purchase – (we agreed on $2500 as a minimum).
Art bought a 1949 Ford from Cottrell’s today –
Evening – Edgar called to report that they had bought the “Sun and Rocks” which pleased me. I like to have it nearby where I can see it once in a while.
