Specialist note

Ellen Osgood was a friend of mine and my college roommates and a member of a group, which included my wife-to-be Peggy McGrath, who went around together. Her parents sent these beautiful casters to us as a wedding present. They were among the nicest presents we received. - David Rockefeller. (D. Fennimore et al., p. 394).
