Joyce Levitt of Long Beach, formerly with the World Clown Association, shares a Press-Telegram moment with Staphen, a headliner with the Nikoulin Moscow Circus, the 128-year-old extravaganza, during a recent visit to the Russian capital. We're still trying to decide if this qualifies as a Roving Reader, Cool Pet of the Week, or all of the above.
Ellen Swieck of Long Beach stopped over at the dazzling Boston Museum of Fine Arts during a recent literary tour of Massachusetts. Ellen was standing next to one of a pair of sculptures, called ``Night'' and ``Day'' by Spanish artist Antonio Lopez Garcia. The MFA acquired them last year right after hosting a retrospective of Lopez Garcia's paintings and sculpture and just in time for the reopening of its historic Fenway-side entrance. The sculptures flank the stairs of the Fenway entrance and were unveiled in June 2008. The museum is a gem in a city of gems and you can check it out at www.mfa.org.
Carolyn and Mike Milburn took a side trip while visiting friends in Jackson Hole, Wyo., in August and took a drive over to see Mount Rushmore, the legendary monument near Keystone, S.D. Almost 400 workers were employed in creating the sculptures from October of 1927 to October of 1941. It was extremely dangerous work there were no lives lost. Read about the monument online at www.nps.gov/moru.
