Well, this pickup for one of the walls will soften the blow. The key here is that my girlfriend believes she is related to former MLB ump Lou Jorda, on the right of the pic. As a side note, I was astounded at the nice condition this was in. And the white vertical lines aren't creases but Norman Rockwell's version of swift rainfall.

That's my favorite Norman Rockwell painting - I have a framed print hanging just a few feet away as I type this and was awed by seeing the original in Cooperstown in '99!!
