Local artist, Gary Godbee, adorns our front cover
with a beautiful painting entitled, “ Lambertville Sta-
tion Inn.” He states, “The view of the Lambertville
Inn from the New Hope side of the Delaware River
before sunset caught my eye. The bright reflected
light of the white walls of the building in the river
reminded me of a fireworks display or even the trails
of an exploding rocket. I tried to capture both the
golden color of the walls as well as the fiery light on
the rippled water. The exhilaration I felt while
observing this display is what I hope viewers take
away with them when they see this painting.” Gary
often paints subjects nearby that interest him from
short trips he takes to explore. Please visit his web-
site www.garygodbee.com and read his impressive
bio on page 8.
In keeping with our dedication to the “Commu-
nity,” we are proud to feature several significant
