“It is of major impor-

in mind the hundred of
different areas of antique
collecting. Millions of A-
mericans are heavily into
acquiring every type of old
artifact imaginable,’’ Sater

that they will tend to feel
other areas are of little or
no importance.”’

Sally Cahalan, cosmopol-
itan and much travelled
(she has been associated
with important galleries
and museums in New York
and Philadelphia, and she
has studied in France),
finds Marietta a delightful
place to live.
She likes the small town
atmosphere, the 19th cen-
tury architecture, the
friendly people (‘‘It pleases
me to see people of all
ages working and socializ-
ing together’’) and the low
-keyed pace of Marietta.
Sally is enthusiastic a-
bout the artistic community
in Marietta and has high
praise for the Marietta
