I knew Theo well as we both attended Wheaton College in Norton, MA in the late 60's/early 70's. After she transferred to Dartmouth and later obtained her Masters in Fine Arts, we kept in touch mostly by telephone, and I visited her in her NYC apartment whenever I came East from the West Coast. Even as an undergraduate, she exhibited a unique eye towards her subjects and portraiture, carrying her camera all over campus. Her yearbook photograph was, of course, a self portait, taken in the reflection of the side mirror of her car! I miss her and was so happy to find this wonderful site. Thank you for letting us all continue to view her beautiful work.
