Rea lived in Kennett Square, PA for awhile and was a member of the Wyeth School of Artists.  Rea was born in 1933 and passed away in June of 2008.Twin brother Rex was a writer and lived in Franklin Indiana.  Rex was a writer for the Indianapolis Star from 1972 until 1996.  Rex passed away in July of 2004.  The short story below about Cory Calvert was written by Rex and published in the Indiana Rural news in November 1971.
