I met Peter through our mutual friend and his most devoted collector, Ellen. AN INSTANT FRIENDSHIP WAS STRUCK. SOON AFTER MEETING PETER, I WOULD MEET HIS TWIN BROTHER LARRY. ANOTHER INSTANT FRIENDSHIP OCCURRED. AT THE TIME, I WAS HEAVY WITH AN INVENTORY OF FINE WOOL BLANKETS, MOHAIR SCARVES, AND CASHMERE SWEATERS. PETER AND I WERE QUICKLY OFF TO BARTERING IMAGINATION FOR DURABLE GOODS. IN OUR FIRST TRADE, I ENDED UP WITH THE QUINTESSENTIAL SALMON FALLS GOUACHE PAINTING. PETER RECEIVED A VINTAGE RED WOOL BLANKET AND SCOTTISH MOHAIR scarf.
