 Scot sold van Gogh paintings for a pittance - Boston.com
When Reid returned from Paris with two paintings by Vincent van Gogh, his father berated him for bringing such "atrocities" home and sold them to a French dealer for five pounds ($9) each.
It did not matter that the paintings, a portrait of Reid and a still life of a basket of apples, were in fact gifts to the young Scot, who had lived for several months in Paris with Vincent and his brother, Theo, in Montmartre in 1886-87.
The two paintings and another van Gogh portrait of Reid are included in an exhibition of the Dutch painter's works that opened recently at Edinburgh's Dean Gallery, part of the National Galleries of Scotland.

In his article on PhiladelphiaEagles.com, Bob Kent explains that “Vincent is still experiencing some discomfort with his strained hip flexor and head coach Andy Reid said Friday that the team is prepared for Sunday’s Divisional Playoff with or without Vincent.”
Reid does, however, have all the confidence in the world in the young players that will replace Vincent in the starting lineup, should his injury keep him out of the game.
If Vincent does not play, especially against Brett Favre and the Packers, the Eagles season may be over with another disappointing loss, and we may be looking at another long off-season trying to figure out what went wrong.

John Birchall writes: I met the teacher Vincent Reid (obituary, May 24) as we queued to register at the School of Oriental and African Studies (Soas), London University, in 1973.
We were to engage in many fascinating and challenging conversations on Africa, its possible paths to development and how fl culture had influenced the artistic tastes of the western world.
Within a short time, Reid emerged as the most able member of the course; he had an ability to see through issues to the very nucleus of the topic, and introduced an air of almost paternal wisdom to the proceedings.
