I was Born in Utica


I was born in Utica, you’ve probably heard of it. It’s not a well known place but it’s an important place to me. You might hink that a city like Rome is an important city, but I’m telling you you’re wrong. I grew up in Utica so I know. Also, I’ve been to Rome several times in my life, it’s just a little suburb about ten miles from Utica. It used to have an Air Force Base there but they closed it.

Drawing of Utica as seen from the thruway exit number 31, but from my imagination. Oil paint on prepared paper. The drawing measures 6” x 8” and is signed with an R on the bottom front and a full signature and date on the back, Richard Britell, July 3, 2001.
