Art and Poetry Go Side by Side: Mary & Lou

Jacky & Anne Dupont A Well-Matched Couple,

Thanks to Lady Liberty By Emily Kratzer

By Emily Kratzer Meet a lively, upbeat duo, resilient collaborators in life, sharing the blessings of family and friends, the fulfillment of creative expression and the limitations of challenging health issues; the couple (Mary, the artist, and Lou, the poet) is a real-life pairing of the “Painted Poetry” works that are shown in their joint exhibits Charleston A City with Something for Everyone By Kelly Parr For the eleventh year in a row, Travel + Leisure in 2023 named Charleston the Best City in the United States and included it in its list of 25 Favorite Cities in the World (among its other honors); read about Charleston’s rich history and beautiful array of sights and sounds, and you will understand why its accolades are well deserved and why it is worthy of a visit

Historical restoration brought this couple together—Jacky from France, when he was brought to New York to help build the Statue of Liberty’s new torch, and Anne, who came to New York on a visit from Nantucket where she had been documenting a historical house on the island; together they now run Maître Jacques, which Jacky founded in 2017, to focus on metalwork design Grave Matters Bergen County Cemeteries By Tim Adriance There are more than 160 cemeteries in Bergen County, containing the remains of the famous, the brave and countless others, and while known as hallowed ground, gardens of remembrance or graveyards, these cemeteries are actually outdoor history books; read about them and discover stories from this county’s past, from the Indian burial grounds to modern times
