The old stomping grounds.
It doesn't change much.
My father grew up in this house on Haskin Street.
My father went to this elementary school.
My great-grandfather built this house on Hood Street.
Let's go visit Doyle the blind Twig Painter!
Doyle made this portrait of Samuel Chapin in 1989 based on the statue at the Quadrangle.
Back north, here's fellow Springfield boy Kevin Noonan at the Black History dinner in Amherst last week.

everywhere is somewhere
Tom, i understand that Doyle doesnt paint anymore, but are his pictures still for sale at his shop?
Perhaps, but there is hardly anything left and the shop is hardly ever open. Because he is blind even if he is there he won't open the door unless he knows who it is. Try sending him a letter and ask to make an appointment to visit the gallery. He may say yes, or he may totally ignore you. With Doyle, you never know.
Thanks for the advice :)
Love the cat with the glowing eyes seated behind you, Tom, as you display your portrait!
