Her brother was the president of a local bank. When Mary returned to America with the first Impressionist Exhibition here, the local newspaper published a brief blurb:<br />“Mary Cassatt, sister of _________ (sorry I don’t remember his name), president of _____________ Bank, is in town for a visit after spending some time abroad. Miss Cassatt paints for a hobby and is known to have the world’s smallest dog.”<br /><br />Thank God we don’t remember her that way now.<br />--francesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411745030595436505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128010408535097030.post-63808790792802983712009-12-21T18:55:13.896-08:002009-12-21T18:55:13.896-08:00too bad it was necessary in this age to write this...too bad it was necessary in this age to write this.
