After months of exhaustive organization and a week of intense, animated activity during the course of the exhibit, co-chairpersons Bill and Mary Alice Pyles finally had time to reflect on the show%u2019s course and take inventory of the helping hands that made it a success.Grace Church, host to the exhibit that featured over 75 local artists, received the Pyles%u2019s first kudos. %u201c The cooperation and enthusiasm of Reverend Sherrill, his associates and parishioners was inspiring,\observed Mrs. Pyles.
