Lt. John Crisci
 

Well, I suppose I am the first to post here and actually the first time that I knew of the changes. I hope I am doing this right.

Please meet Lt. John Crisci, my memorial portrait that I did for his widow, Raffaella and their 3 sons. Raffaella flew here from New York to receive the portrait and was most pleased. We spent days getting to know each other and I feel that I have now a wonderful friend.

I am now in the early stages of doing another one very soon. I was contacted by Lt. Crisci's long time friend, and he { the friend} had lost his son also and had indeed seen Lt. Criscis painting. I am communicating now with him to gather information.

I am so pleased and honored to have been part of this endeavor and wish to thank Margaret and all connected with this. What a wonderful idea to give us an opportunity to contribute as well.

Thanks
Patt

Patt,

Your are so blessed to do this, you must feel some personal reward too! :cool:

Indeed blessed
 

Thanks Beth, having communicated with the family and other friends of Lt. Crisci, I certainly am honored to have met some of the family. What a great wife he has, Raffaella. We still stay in touch a little via e-mail and I call now and then. :)
