Ed and I went on an excursion with the East County chapter with the  Museum of Art for a day trip to UCLA.  First was a visit to the Armand Hammer museum in Westwood to see a collection of European and American paintings  and drawings  from the Renaissance to early 20^th century.  We enjoyed lunch in the patio restaurant in the museum. Armand Hammer was an American business manager and owner, most closely associated with Occidental Petroleum.  He was known for his art collection, his philanthropy and his close ties to the Soviet Union. The museum opened in 1990 and in 1994 UCLA assumed its management.
