[Dialogue] 64kQ: River Print: was it #27 or maybe #12?

[Jean Long]

During the early 80's I bought a book of the Thrity-six Views as postcards
that could be torn out and mailed. I pulled out the 4 views that we had
chosen for Land, River, Mountain, and Sea.  They were still displayed  as
decor in the Kemper Building.   In '88 after moving to Denver I had them
framed and have had them up in my apts. from that time til now.

If someone remembers differently, I am open.

with respect,
jean long in denver where we have had 5 days of afternoon snow
(this is the pattern for the monsoon isn't it?)
