In the 1950s Maxfield Parrish gave employees of the Windsor County National Bank a painting he had done to thank them for the help they gave him, month after month, balancing his accounts. The bank’s been sold a couple of times, and the painting has appreciated in value; it’s worth several hundred thousand dollars. The bank’s new owners tried to sell it, but the townspeople are mobilized for action to save their much-loved civic treasure. – Boston Globe
