Dear Friends of Norman Rockwell Museum,

On behalf of our fellow Trustees, we are happy to present the 2011-2012 Annual Report of Norman Rockwell Museum. This comes with a magnificent account of the year’s exhibitions in Stockbridge and across the nation, educational and community programs, scholarship to advance illustration art, and curatorial achievements. This remarkable Museum does all of this and more, inspired by the values Norman Rockwell depicted in his iconic paintings. His works portray freedom, tolerance, humanity and kindness, integrity, honesty, and authenticity along with a joyfulness and celebration of life. These values inspire our visitors and staff alike. The Museum concluded its fiscal year on June 30, 2012 in a strong position. As noted a year ago, we eliminated our long-term debt. This year we are pleased to report that we have no short-term Norman Rockwell Museum President Anne Morgan borrowing on our balance sheet. Annual attendance at the Museum has generated good revenue, and and Chairman Thomas we saw nationwide interest and attendance grow for our traveling exhibition program as well. L. Pulling. We are especially grateful for the generosity of our members and donors who care so deeply for this national treasure in the Berkshires. All contributed to a successful year. We want to extend very special personal gratitude to the Museum’s exemplary Board. We thank them for their dedication, enthusiasm, and especially for their engagement in all aspects of our Museum. We salute and applaud this remarkable group of men and woman who donate so much time, energy, and financial support. We look forward to sharing the coming year with our Museum friends and loyal supporters. We thank all of you, and especially, our Director/CEO, Laurie Norton Moffatt, and her resourceful staff for having made the past year a resounding success. Our Museum is financially sound and well- positioned to celebrate the legacy of Norman Rockwell for years to come.

The art of Norman Rockwell and illustration touches lives in profound ways.

35 FY 11/12 IN MEMORIAM

A Tribute to Larry Vaber (1929-2011) In 1953, young cub reporter Larry Vaber scooped the Berkshire Eagle with a story for the Springfield News to an- nounce the arrival of a famous new resident who had just moved to Stockbridge. Larry walked right up to the studio door and interviewed Norman Rockwell, who had just arrived from Arlington, Vermont. And thus began Larry’s long history of friendship with Norman Rockwell and Norman Rockwell Museum. Larry’s personal connections with Norman Rockwell deep- ened in 1961, when Mr. Rockwell told him to keep a color study for McCabe Brothers Florists that Norman had offered as a raf- fle prize for a Red Cross benefit organized by Larry. Fast for- ward to 1992, when, after enjoying the gift for 30 years, Larry donated the work to Norman Rockwell Museum. (For further details, read this 1992 Portfolio “Curator’s Corner” article.) 1992 also marked the beginning of Larry’s six-year service as a member of the NRM Board of Trustees, during which time he served on several committees (in- cluding Building & Grounds at the time of the construction of our new Museum) and helped launch the first national traveling exhibition, Norman Rockwell: Pictures for the American People. Larry was a lifelong active supporter of the Museum, whether at home in the Berkshires or in Boca Raton, where he hosted special events together with his partner, Dick Ziter, for our Sunshine State members. Today, while Larry is sorely missed, his legacy of support continues through a generous monetary bequest from his Estate. In a letter to Laurie Norton Moffatt dated November, 2009, Larry wrote, “Anything connected to you and our beloved Norman Rockwell Museum is always a joy. I’m always proud to say not only that I knew Norman Rockwell, but that I’m proud to be part of the Norman Rockwell Museum Family”. It was in this spirit that Larry became a member of Norman Rockwell Museum’s Legacy Society by including the Museum as a beneficiary in his estate plans.

A Tribute to Curtis Buttenheim (1918-2012)

Curtis Buttenheim moved to Stockbridge in 1969, just two tors flocked in long lines around the block in anticipation of see- years after the Articles of Incorporation designation of the ing Norman Rockwell’s artwork, on view then as just one part of Stockbridge Corner House Corporation (1967) and 15 years prior the Historical Society’s displays. to the opening of the “new” Norman Rockwell Museum on the Mr. Buttenheim continued his loyal support as a member of Linwood Estate in 1993, which by then was officially known as the Museum following his trusteeship and eventual move to The Norman Rockwell Museum at Stockbridge, Inc. Dennis, Massachusetts. He loved to receive and write letters, Active throughout the Berkshire community, Mr. Buttenheim sending one to Laurie Norton Moffatt at age 91, describing with served as a Norman Rockwell Museum Trustee from 1973 to relish a visit to a Norman Rockwell exhibition at the Ringling 1978, thus participating in the formative years of the then—Old Museum in Sarasota, Florida. We are proud to acknowledge this Corner House, whose popularity grew exponentially when visi- true gentleman’s affiliation with the Museum.

A Tribute to Richard “Dick” Clemens (1928-2012)

Richard “Dick” Clemens, who posed as the police officer in Norman Rockwell’s iconic 1958 painting, The Runaway, was a long-time friend of the Museum, and will be sorely missed. Having worked as a Massachusetts State Trooper, Mr. Clemens was always very generous with sharing stories about his time working as a model for his Stockbridge neighbor. In addition to The Runaway, Rockwell also painted Clemens’ portrait for a 1961 Christmas card for the Massachusetts State Police. The Runaway endures as one of Norman Rockwell’s most admired paintings. Over the years, Clemens visited Norman Rockwell Museum together with the other Runaway model Ed Locke to take part in model reunions and special talks about their experiences. The painting has also resonated with police and military personnel around the world. In Ed Locke (left) with Dick Clemens (right) in Rockwell’s studio. 2009 2008, Mr. Clemens and Mr. Locke were hon- ored by the Massachusetts State Police during a special ceremony in Framingham to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the September 28, 1958 cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post.
