Greenville Public Library
Work of Art at
Library
Here’s the story from Dede Wissman about her beautiful painting on
display at the Greenville Public Library for the summer. Her
husband Bill worked for Greenville Technology Inc. from 1987 until he
retired as Production Vice President and Plant Manager in 2004.
During many of those years it was the practice of the company to
purchase a painting each year from the Greenville Art Guild Show at the
Brethren’s Retirement Community. These paintings were displayed
in the office areas of GTI.
Bill was drawn to a particular painting of the Library by Bob Brubaker.
Dede was employed by the Library at the time. Bill expressed an
interest in the painting thus the company gave it to him as a
retirement gift. “It had been my hope to give it to Dede as a
gift. She was surprised and thrilled to receive the painting” he
reported. Since then it has hung in their home.
Dede decided that their appreciation of Brubaker’s painting be shared
with the community by lending it for display for the summer. It
can be viewed near the Reference Desk on the second floor. Dede was
employed as a Reference Librarian from 1990 to 2011. If you know
Dede, you may still see her at the Library. She helps manage the
Friends of the Library book sale in the computer room. Dede will
tell you that it is the most enjoyable activity of her retirement
...other than reading the treasures she comes across sorting books!
The Library appreciates the opportunity to display this painting. Bob
Brubaker was a local award-winning artist and art teacher for many
years.
