This was a great account - thank you! I have directed Trevor to it since, as you know, he knew the then-David Jones at Beckenham Arts Lab in the early 70s, and says he was popular off stage - and taken seriously, which is unusual for a then-teenager. It sounds like a fantastic exhibition.

I visited Chicago about 15 years ago and was very impressed: the shorefront cityscape is jaw-dropping and like you, I was whelmed by how clean it was. I went up the Sears tower. My good friend Mary K and myself did disgrace ourselves by losing her car in the parking lot for 45 minutes, but made it home to Milwaukee in respectable order.

I remembered about Trevor and the Beckenham Arts Lab and Mrs. Jones's little Davey...it's a long way from Bromley, to be sure. If the exhibit comes back to the V&A and you have a chance to see it, go by all means. I am still SO stoked; it just defies comment. Even if my ad HADN'T been in it.
