Market St. in Marietta. Emphasis will be on oils and watercolors depicting Lan- caster County and the Chesapeake Bay area, Maine scenes and still lifes, travel sketches and gra- phics, in addition to work in silk screen and pastels. Born inLancaster, the son Harry and Martha Rein- hart, Les was a well-known name in Lancaster art circles in the mid-1900’s. He studied art at the Wilming- ton Academy of Fine Arts, where he won the scholar- ship for design. He was one of the originators and a president of the Lancaster Sketch Club, a forerunner of the Lancaster Art Association. His pictures have been exhibited in New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Delaware, and in several traveling art shows. He is listed in the Young Artists Group of Who's Who in American Art. In addition, he did a series of Lancaster County scenes for the Lancaster Newspapers, known as the ‘Lancaster Sketch Book’. In the last years of his life he was searching for a new art form, represented by his last painting, the self-por- trait of an artist in agonizing transition, a period abruptly ended by his untimely death in 1971. The Mack Brewery seems an appropriate place for a showing of Reinhart’s work. Pat Abel, the young propri- etor, has been a friend and admirer of Reinhart’s since his childhood. Moreover, the building has the local color that always delighted the artist. The brewery operated from about 1830 to 1870. A part of the original vault is still in existence, and is gradually being excavated by Pat and his brother Mike, who owns it. Pat selected the name the ‘Mack Brewery’ because one of the numerous (at least six) owners were the three Mack brothers, an accountant, a brewer and a cooper. The shop is a charming collection of the artifacts of the period during which the brewery operated and con- tains many memorabilia of Lancaster’s history. Please note--The brewery itself is not open to the public. Hours for the exhibit are from 1 to S p.m. RACHEL HEISTAND RETIRES An employee with over 22 years of service at the Elizabethtown Hospital for Children and Youth has put away her microscope and other hematology effects this week.
