This was is in fact my problem. As a youth, growing up on Long Island, we
had nice beaches but few cows.

As a college student at Gettysburg College in rural PA, I experienced cows
more fully  and the great monuments of the historic battlefield as well.
This was germaine to my becoming a stone carver. For me, stonecarving and
cows go hand in hand (somehow). After 17 years in the URBAN environment and
no cows, I have come to Switzerland to make up for lost time.
