When the books were finished, Donald
and Marshall Stoltz decided to display the
covers to the public. In 1975, the broth-
ers opened the Curtis Center Museum of
Norman Rockwell Art in Philadelphia at
601 Walnut St. Donald Stoltz was the pres-
ident and Marshall Stoltz was the curator.
The museum drew many visitors,
including celebrities. One day, Marshall
Stoltz told Donald Stoltz to bring his son
down to the museum to meet the entire
St. Louis Cardinals football team.
Stoltz also remembered the time his
father, who often helped curate and guide
museum visitors, approached a man, told
him he looked familiar and asked if they
went to the same synagogue.
“My father said, ‘I go to Shaare Shamayim
and I live in Northeast Philadelphia.’ And
the man said, ‘No, I live in Los Angeles,’”
Stoltz said. “And it turned out it was Dustin
Hoffman.” Regardless, your retirement years should be all you’ve hoped and planned for. Masonic Village can

I would say he’s a very
uplifting person. He says he’s
never depressed, and he’s
just a very happy person,
and he loves people.”
Financial advice

knowledgeable neighbor.
PHYLLIS STOLTZ
After running the museum for 22
years, Stoltz said he and his brother closed
it when the company that owned their
building tripled the rent. They published
another book, “The Advertising World of
Norman Rockwell,” and took the exhib-
its on the road, giving lectures about
Rockwell at various venues across the
country. Stoltz retired from medicine in 1998
and got another job working for a drug
company, where he visited medical
schools to lecture about new kinds of
medicine. Now, he spends his time paint-
ing and continues to write books, poems
and short stories. His three children and
seven grandchildren live in Philadelphia,
and he sees them often.
“I would say he’s a very uplifting
person,” Phyllis Stoltz said. “He says he’s
never depressed, and he’s just a very
happy person, and he loves people.” l
