"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Again, "THANK YOU" to all of our service MEN and WOMEN ! ! !
During World War I, Leyendecker, like other illustrators, created posters in support of the nation’s war effort. Some of these images encourage the purchase of war bonds, while others, like “Enlist Today, US Marines, Stockton” (1918) were designed to encourage American men to join the armed services.
But by the end of the 1930s demand for his illustrations was beginning to wane, and from then up until his death in 1951 he struggled to make a living.

| If you live to be 100, I want to live to be 100 minus one day, so I never have to live without you." ~Winnie the Pooh~ Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.. ~Anais Nin!  |

The 1920s were in many ways the apex of Leyendecker's career, with some of his most recognizable work being completed during this time. Modern advertising had come into its own, with Leyendecker widely regarded as among the pre-eminent American commercial artists. This popularity extended beyond the commercial, and into Leyendecker's personal life, where he and Charles Beach hosted large galas attended by people of consequence from all sectors. The parties they hosted at their New Rochelle home/studio were important social and celebrity making events.

Live like you`ll die tomorrow;
Work like you don`t need the money,
Dance like nobody`s watching;
Love like you`ve never been hurt...
Sing like nobody`s listening;
Live like it`s heaven on earth....
~Mark Twain~
~Bob Fossw~
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited... It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense, and it is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins but delights in truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end...
