The runaway edit
Well, did he pose for the picture or not? The article currently makes both claims. Hmmmm.... Andrewa (talk) 06:17, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- Per Boyd, Jim, "Rockwell Illustration 'The Runaway' Turns 50", TheBostonChannel.com / WCVB-TV, September 19, 2008, the Rockwell painting features state trooper Richard Clemens and not Obanheim. I've removed references to the painting from here and from Alice's Restaurant, where the uncited claim had also appeared. --Tenebrae (talk) 18:50, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- I'll explicitly state that in the article to prevent people from putting the claim back in. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 21:28, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
I've removed this from the article because it's unsourced: "Rockwell’s painting The Runaway was set in the Howard Johnson’s in Lenox, MA (not Joe’s Diner in Lee). The model for the young boy, Ed Locke, confirmed this." GA-RT-22 (talk) 04:42, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
