I should think your usual procedure of submitting photographs first ought to be sufficient.
Things are about the same here, altho I did get out on last Saturday & Sunday (Easter) for a short stroll in the backyard – the hepaticas in our garden were in all their glory, and it was heavenly to get a breath of fresh air. I am past the half-way point in the shots so am hoping for concrete results soon.
Oh by the way the Dynamic film people were here for a short visit – to look over the ground. They are coming back on May 19 – they want a shot of me just standing at my easel outdoors – I hope ill be able to do it, - not so much for them as for myself – They seem like nice fellows, and not prone to ask too much of me.
The Buffalo Historical Society has awarded me their annual medal for “outstanding civic service” to be awarded next October – they want a small exhibition in connection with it, of Buffalo scenes – They expect to borrow from museums for it, so that wont bother you or me too much.
Our best to you and Winnie –
Charlie
