This went on before lunch as well as after. Many people spoke about various things, political and cultural. The woman in this photograph spoke (this time, she spoke again later) about growing up in Nigeria and as a child give a song to sing by the English teachers who ran the school she had gone to. This was an extremely racist song. At the time she was very young and just so pleased to have been chosen to sing. It wasn't till later as she got older that she realized what the lyrics were all about.

Coicidentally with the last picture (see last entry), Doug was for many years the manager of Catskill Art and Office in Pougheepsie. He bought The Rhinebeck Artist's shop a short time ago. This was my first time in and his family was in the store which persipitated this photograph.
