Hello. A Catskill friend alerted me to your blog and particularly to your piece on WalMart/Durand. That led me in turn to Ulster Publishing, a splendid resource for my own interest in mid-Hudsoniana (viewed from very parochial position). I hope to cite and quote you in a near-future installment of my blog

And I'd like to be on your list.

Hi, Dick. Glad to "meet" you. You may find more of regional interest at my other blog, http://hudsonriverbracketed.blogspot.com, where I've posted stories on Durand, Downing, Davis, Vaux, Vanderlyn, Melville, and more. My story titled "Walm-Art" will run in tomorrow's Woodstock, Saugerties, and Kingston Times. Because it may not make it online at Ulsterpublishing.com, I will be pleased to send it to you if you supply your email address.
I'll check out your blog, too.
Best,
John
Good reeading your post
