We Are Our Dreams

This Story Is A Humorously Fantasized Account Of The Real-Life Experiences Of The Author Whose Pseudonym In The Tale Is Elizabeth (Or Betsy). It Is An Account Of A Woman Raised And Educated In The Midwest Whose Passion For Great Art Leads Her To A Very Successful Position At The Metropolitan Museum Of Art In New York. Her Other Passion In Life Is For The Great Outdoors Particularly The Wilderness Lake Country Along The Minnesota/Canada Border. A Unique And Rich Autobiographical Sketch Is Woven Out Of The Humor Found In Human Behavior In Such Widely Differing Cultures. The Story Begins As Elizabeth Fresh Out Of The Midwest And Marveling At New York City Joins The Staff Of The Great Museum And Is Familiarized With Her New Position As Conservator Of Historic Clothing. The Inner Workings Of The Museum Form A Backdrop For The Many Wonderful And Often Strange Personalities Elizabeth Learns To Work With. With A Combination Of Midwestern Naiveté Passion For Her Profession And Good Humor Elizabeth Throws Herself Into Her Work. In Time Elizabeth Knows She Must Bid Good-Bye To The Great Museum To The Bewilderment And Chagrin Of Her Many New Friends Who Try To Convince Her It Is Obvious That New York Is Where It'S All At. Elizabeth Returns To The Town Of Ely Minnesota Where She And Her Family Have A Summer Lake Home. She Becomes Fanatically Involved With Fishing Canoeing And Other Outdoor Activities. She Becomes Obsessed With Catching A Rare Almost Mystical Fish And Enlists The Aid Of An Entourage Of Her New York Friends To Come Out And Accompany Her On This Quest.
