[QUOTE="stevew, post: 64357, member: 130"] Sitting at a round table in the new restaurant, about half a dozen people gather around John Ross and Ellie. Ellie says, "Seriously. I don't care, Republican or Democrat. The thing is you have to get at the cause of something. Then you can go from there. All this political party crap just keeps people from in line. I don't stay in someone else's line." Pamela wants to know who got Ellie talking politics. The table laughs. Ben brings out another plate of appetizers and says, "What I want to know about is this art collection of you and your mother's in New York." "Well after my mother separated from Lord Maitland, the Viscount of Weatherby, we moved to New York. She sent me to Miss Porters. Some where in there Don's father died and she became known as Lady Maitland and he was onto his latest adventure, some import, export business. Well my mother got involved and started collecting art for her apartment in New York City." One of the people at the table said, "I read that her share of the art collection they shared is worth something like a billion dollars." "I don't know about that. You'd have to ask her. But we worked on it together right through when I was at Yale." She looks around the room and sees Sue Ellen at another table with several people her age chatting over dinner. "I heard she has a Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning. I also heard she was very much part of the art scene in those days. Even modeling." "That I can attest to. Yes my mother was involved with Phillips. Of course it was a platonic affair as he's gay," Ellie laughs. "Andy Phillips. What a sweet, charming man." "When did your mother come back to Dallas?" "I don't know. I was in London working on my Ph.D. Her uncle left her some gas stations here in Texas. I know she finally divorced Don and returned her to do business as Sue Ellen Shepard, mostly investing in everything she could get her hands on. Did pretty well. Started to give away her uncle's money. Anyway, people of course called her Sue Ellen Ewing." "I remember my brother starting up a tech company. She financed him Got him off the ground." "My mother has an eye for value. She can spot potential a mile away. She became know in the art world for spotting the next great talent far more than for her husband's pricey collection. My mother does have talent." "And a heart of gold," Pamela chimes in. John Ross laughs. "What is this the Sue Ellen Ewing fan club?" "Your mother's fascinating," someone says. "There's an understatement," Ellie laughs. Then there's a hush as Gabi Wendell walks in with her entourage. Ben excused himself to welcome his mother. She says, You know Ari. He flew in from Greece this afternoon just for you." "Welcome Mr. Livanos. I heard you were hear to talk business with my brother. He's set up several deals with Middle Eastern countries and needs you to ship his oil." "Well that too. You remember my daughter Ollie?" "Yes of course. Welcome. It's been sometime. How are you?" "Excellent, thank you. I can't wait to try something you made. I told my dad you were an excellent cook in school." "Well lets get you a table." On their way Gabi says, "Good evening, John Ross. Pamela. Enjoying yourselves?" "Of course." Pamela smirks. "My brother is an excellent cook. And, he's done a fabulous job, don't you think?" "It's a very nice place. But then he comes by it naturally. You've seen our house. It's a work of art. And Claire, she's a classically trained French chef. Claire is our cook. She's taken care of Benjamin since he was a boy." "Well. I'm glad he had some positive influences." John Ross says, "Wasn't Carlos DelSol, Jr. the architect of your house here in Dallas? He was a very talented artist as I recall, designing several buildings here in Texas and Mexico." "All of my husbands were talented. But let me keep you from enjoying your meal." "Oh no worries. We'll close the place down." [/QUOTE]
