An Eye for Art

I remember meeting Mr. Forese for the first time when I managed the Thorndale office for Citadel. I knew him in my mind as "Maria's Dad." The meeting came about as I had met with Maria and expressed my interest in refreshing some of the artwork in the branch. I felt we needed some more color in the office, but I also felt strongly that the pieces of art should be local images, places of historic value or destinations that would evoke memories of the Coatesville area. Maria knew just what to do...she contacted her father who had a knack for this and "An Eye for Art." I remember the excitement of seeing him come into he office with some framed prints of local landmarkts. He hung them in our conference room and a few of the offices. The pieces immediately gave the space a feeling of warmth. Afterwards, as customers came into the offices, they often remarked on the artwork as being "local." These pieces were not just about adding color, they added warmth and understanding of the market. Our credit union Members valued the attention to detail. Wearing items of color for his memorial services makes perfect sense to me. I know he appreciated the color palette of life. Respectfully, Doug Thompson
