Telephone Interview with Margreta Overbeck, Age 96 ÷ March 6, 2006 Miss Overbeck was born in Colorado and had her early
schooling in the Denver area. She was attracted to art because her mother was
very involved with art. Margreta went to Buffalo, NY for art schooling
and lived with relatives, as that was where her mother was from originally.
She was at the Albright Art Museum, and trained to become an art teacher.
She became aware of stained glass artist J. Gordon Guthrie, as there were
some churches with his work in Buffalo. |
