Yesterday found me in Newport, interviewing Janet Pell, Claiborne's daughter-in-law, and Nuala again. Nuala shared stories of Claiborne's stepmother, the eccentric but gifted artist Olive Bigelow Pell, a distant cousing of Claiborne's ...mother, Matilda Pell. Olive painted a wedding portrait of Nuala and Claiborne, pictured here in the background in a Connie Grosch photo that illustrated my 2005 Projo story about the Pells, "A Remarkable Life."
