The model Rockwell used for Gillis was my wife’s uncle. Apparently, they met in Vermont. He said that this guy wouldn’t stop staring at him and that he was about to knock his block off when the guy said he was Norman Rockwell and that he wanted to paint him.

Norman Rockwell was in Los Angeles in 1948 or 1949 and he was asked to judge a Wisteria Queen contest in Sierra Madre, Ca… I was one of five contestants from which he chose th queen…. Even though I was not the chosen one I consider it the it a high point in my life to have sat next to him and have my picture taken with him… I will always love and appreciate his work… Signed, Jackie Kinney Howard
