San Francisco Chronicle columnist Jon Carroll took a trip up to Beacon last week and visited our little museum on the Hudson. Wish he would have stopped by for a cup of coffee... I would loved to have talked with him about Herb Caen.

Sometimes I miss being a San Francisco boy...
I love that line.....Maybe You're inside the art.....priceless. As is Dia:Beacon, Bulldog, etc. The press is needed I think. Kudo's.

I haven't thought about Herb Caen in a long time. What a treat to bring up that memory. In the late 60s and early 70s, I was part of a group trying new stuff as part of the Portola Institute in Menlo Park, California. Publishing was the main delivery system for our ideas -- Stewart Brand's Whole Earth Catalog, and its sister publication, my resource magazine for parents and educators called Big Rock Candy Mountain. Occasionally Herb Caen would write about us and now I can't remember a word he said, but only how thrilled I was that he thought we were columnworthy. Not many newspaper folk write for 60 years or so and chronicle the life of a city like Herb Caen. It was hard to live in the Bay Area and not be caught up in his spell.
