My son sent me this photo from his visit to the Isabella Gardener Museum in Boston. The frame once held Rembrandt's "Storm on the Sea of Galilee" until it was stolen along with several other pieces in 1990.

I've been trying to get one of my kids to name a grandchild after me for 20 years. Now, my daughter has got jokes.
