Alex,

I had seen this portrait and was waiting to write something appropriate. The first thought that struck me, that even portrayed at an older age you have captured the essence of a irresistable charmer. He has that certain 'je ne sais quoi' that as a lady I have always found more than appealing.

I just came across an interesting, perhaps fictional account of him in one of Dominick Dunne's novels "A Season in Purgatory", a rather thinly veiled account of the Kennedy dynasty. Your father, in the novel, was brought in as the architect of the school library in the Milton Academy. The wealthy donor's arrogant daughter insisted on an unfortunate change in the building that your father fought and lost.
