Dear Riverdale Press- I enjoyed your article describing the display of 1939 Hawaiian paintings by Georgia O’keefe at the Bronx Botanical Gardens, but was surprised that Ms. Moustakas didn’t mention the Riverdale connection. After viewing the series of paintngs in the L.T. Mertz Library Art Gallery, my wife and I were directed into the library anteroom, which was filled with botanical specimens and other artifacts relating to the Hawaiian Islands. Among the glass display cabinets was a preserved Pineapple. As is scientific botanical custom, the specimen had a display card indicating common name, scientific name, date, and location of collection. The source was none other than our own local fruit purveyor, Garden Gourmet Market, 5665 Broadway, Riverdale, New York 10463.

My parents used to take my sisters and me on an outing to the Bronx once a year from our home in Connecticut. We wanted to see the Bronx Zoo; they wanted to see the Botanical Gardens. Being three against two, we usually won. I just couldn’t appreciate it as a child, but I certainly would now. I’ll add it to my list for my next visit to New York.

This Georgia O’Keeffe: Hawai’i show sounds fabulous! Wish I could make a visit to see it at the New York Botanical Garden, which is also on my travel to-do list. I wonder if it will travel to other venues?
