He is a dedicated public servant and loves the Senate. I am prayerful that he will beat the cancer he is now fighting.

It is one of the most moving portraits I have ever seen. I am aware of his history and his health struggles and saw this in the portrait. I have never forgotton the emotions and contemplation you displayed. It is of course an honor to have taken two weeklong workshops with you. Looking forward to May 2009.<BR/>Sincerely, Trish SavidesTrish Savideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132298093651970125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620695550917400396.post-80835303255112318382008-11-10T02:51:00.000-08:002008-11-10T02:51:00.000-08:00Congratulations on the portrait of Arlen Specter. ...Congratulations on the portrait of Arlen Specter.
