Robber-baron heritage: the shores of Jekyll Island, Georgia, home of the Jekyll Island Club and winter playground for fin de ciecle industrialists including my great great grandfather whose family resided there permanently. Two maiden aunts (one of them my namesake, Margaret Stewart) left resentfully in the 1940s when the Geogia goverment claimed it as park land. Re: maiden aunts: when they died the attic was found to contain steamer trunks of empty liqour bottles. One had to maintain decorum, afterall. 8"x10", oil on panel.
