This governor was in office in the 1960's and is now 95 years old. The portrait sitting was done with him in his favorite living room chair. I had him looking off to the left, out a nearby window, to capture the feeling that he's "looking back" over his years in office. This gentleman was also a United States Senator. He doesn't travel much any more and so was not at the unveiling.
His grandson read a speech that he wrote though, which included this quote from Benjamin Franklin: "We must all hang together, gentlemen...else, we shall most assuredly hang separately."
