Meet Thornton Percival, a model for Rockwell's Boy Scout illustrations, and Jim Stafford, best known as the flirtatious window washer in one of Rockwell's famous Post covers. In a discussion moderated by radio personality Kitty O'Neal, both models will share the experiences they had with Rockwell and how they came to be a part of his legacy. 

Backstory offers a closer look at nationally acclaimed exhibitions that goes beyond what is viewed on the gallery walls, read in catalogues, or discussed in the media. Space is limited.
