Description	BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY: Although it appears that Tad did not leave a written account of this particular trip with O'Keeffe, there are other sources that document her fascination with Glen Canyon. In Frank Wright's autobiography he reveals that Georgia O'Keeffe took several trips with him-- both motoring and rowing on the Colorado River through Glen, as well as house-boating on the rising waters of Lake Powell. She would paint, take lots of photographs, and collect natural objects along the way. He writes that 'Although she was in her 80's she didn't request any special consideration.' Her only request of him was to refrain from watching her as she worked. Photographer Todd Webb also remembers O'Keeffe in Glen Canyon in his memoirs, particularly a trip in August of 1961 that also included photographer, Eliot Porter.
