As a past president of the Allegheny Chapter, I sure wish I could take some credit for this, but it is all the work of the current executive board: Chris Rojik, Cathy Scott, Diane Transue, Diane Forman, Kathy Courtney, Carrie Hutsko, and Paula Gannon. At less than $40 a class for members, it is also quite a bargain.

Barb Antel Conner is doing a big favor by opening up the Heinz History Center conservation studio to PPFA members. We had her as a guest at our annual meeting in October 2015.

It is a great coup that they have engaged Bill Adair who rarely, if ever, has been available for chapter events. He is as close as we have to a rock star of frame history and gilding.
