Arnold's Story: April 12, 1944

Arnie got a letter from his mother about their Easter activities at 501 East Mountain Street, Glendale. The Virginia mentioned here was Laura's life-long friend. After Laura died in 1992, Virginia asked for something special of Laura's — her Picasso. In the 1950's Laura had visited Paris and bought a very small Picasso painting (along the order of 3 inches by 5 inches or less, I never saw it) for $300. At the time it was a family scandal to spend so much for such a small work of art. It went missing during some turbulent times later in Laura's life, so Virginia's request could unfortunately not be fulfilled.
