TL: Do you think that raising your children in the, with all their exposure to the art that George was creating and all the artists who came and visit, did that in some way influence their interests?

AT: Children's interest? I don't know. I can't speak for them, but I don't think it was a bad experience. They were all very nice people, very serious artists, sincere, good people so I don't know how much of it that the children remember of these people, but I think it added to their growing up.

TL: Maybe as a last question, what do you think helped you the most in building such a positive family life, what value or approach?

AT: I don't know. I can't talk about value, but we certainly, the family certainly stayed together, and they didn't, no one just walked away from us. I think children like to come back to this house to visit, and they are being so honest about their life, and I'm very pleased what they are doing. I'm glad to have them.

TL: That's great. That's a good conclusion.
