First, I hope you and your family are well. And then a big thank you for your piece on Peter Beard. I was reading it when my husband interrupted me with, "You have to read this article, and it was yours." It caught both our imaginations. It was real clear to me as I read your article how inspirational Peter Beard was to you and you obviously liked and respected him.

I loved you going back to your old journals. Landor's poem was a perfect close. I might have been to the gallery since I know Carol Condilme. I wasn't at the film.

I hope you have been creative during this pandemic. I work hard every day - determined that the virus and Trump aren't going to get me down.

Hope to see you when we are able to socialize again.

Best,
Cynthia Mondell
