Here is what Bob wrote about his stay with his wife at the retreat at # 50 Solberg:

"Being invited as a guest fine artist, along with my wife, Lorna, to your art retreat is one of the most memorable events in my career.  I am grateful for the opportunities afforded for me to work, to live comfortably, to dine graciously, and to be provided transportation into town and back.  Thank you, Nanci, for being a wonderful hostess, a kind advisor, and a patient webmaster, or, should I say, "webmistress"?"
