Michele, et al,
Being a Seattle, Washington resident and "across the pond" neighbor of Michele Rushworth, our esteemed moderator here, I would like to take the opportunity to say a heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS for a marvelous unveiling of your portrait of Edgar Martinez...a Seattle "Mariner" in the Major League Baseball Association.....for his retirement and in honor of his record setting career.
My wife and I watched on television tonight the unveiling of this beautifully rendered painting depicting his amazing swing he's perfected during his 18 years in the Majors....his WHOLE career spent right here in Seattle....in front of all 45,000 plus fans that remained at Safeco Field for the events. It was SOMETHING to behold indeed!
Michele, I can't tell you how proud I am of you for producing this marvelous commission piece. It was a perfect addition to a very emotionally charged event.
Job well done!!!! Three cheers for MICHELE!!!
Your Puget Sound Friend,
Geary
