I happened to make an impromptu visit to the Addison that day, as I often do, to see what new exhibits were on display and to share them with a small group of individuals from our vocational program. Happily, our timing allowed us to meet Mr. Wegman and his dogs, all of whom were friendly, welcoming and absolutely charming to each of the members of the group. As, incidently, were Addison staff members and other visitors. It was an incredible experience for all of us, and we thank the Addison, Mr. Wegman, and everyone else present that day for making it so special.
