...last year when she first discovered the artwork of Thomas Kinkade. An avid collector of dollhouse furniture, she was browsing for additional pieces while on vacation in Florida. "My husband kept disappearing," she recalls. "We were looking at furniture, and he kept disappearing." She eventually found him on a sofa in a quiet corner of the store. His excuse: not that he was shirking his dollhouse duty. He had been so transfixed by a painting that he felt compelled to sit and gaze at it. The sun-dappled gardenscape also captivated Vivienne and distracted her from the dollhouse furniture quest...

She describes the Stockton, Calif., auto-parts salesman as a self- taught mechanical whiz with an insatiable appetite for books. He was a devoted father, she says, who enjoyed nothing more than taking their three kids boating on the nearby Stockton delta...
...Unless you are Branson. "Having just done massive research on the brand, [Virgin Trains] doesn't seem to have done the sort of damage to the brand you might have thought," says Branson, sitting on a sofa in a surprisingly modest office tucked away in London's Notting Hill Gate neighborhood. Branson, others have noted, can seem shy for a guy equally smiley alongside bare-chested models and Tony Blair.
