Description: The Stray A Story by Betsy James WeythDrawings by Jamie Wyeth Signed by author & illustrator on half-title page.Also signed by Jimmy Lynch under title of first chapter. Jimmy Lynch O'Flaherty was a native of Chadds Ford and life-long friend of Jamie Wyeth. For those who grew up in Chadds Ford in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, Jimmy Lynch, as he was known then, was as recognizable as the Wyeths, but more infamous than famous. Lynch was perhaps best known for living life on the edge and as the subject of Jamie Wyeth’s painting “Draft Age.” Apparently, Jimmy Lynch served as the role model for the main character, "Lynch," in The Stray.
