Wallace Wood: Against the Grain, part 37
“Wally’s hobbies include travel,” was the phrase in the EC biography, but that was mostly in the past. In truth, after the 1951 trip, Wood seldom left his drawing board throughout the Fifties. In Tatjana’s view, “Wallace wasn’t much of a vacation taker. We did have some other little vacations. We went up to Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire with his brother and his wife around a Labor Day. It was beastly cold. We had rented a cabin together, and that was maybe a week-long vacation. Another time we went to Middlebury, Vermont, to visit Dutch friends who were staying there temporarily. So we did take a little time off here and there.”
