Last Sunday I went by to visit Rachel and other cat ladies at the Sunday adoption venue. We don't market these like we should, but then I've been able to update our Petfinder and other listings online, so that's helped the feline exodus.
The pet store is next to a large, smelly junk shop. It rarely has anything I want to buy, and is full of elderly, moth-eaten taxidermied creatures that creep me out. But sometimes I spot something interesting, like this picture.
Here's a close-up of the signature:
It took me a while to figure out the names, especially Sec. Miller as I initially thought this said Sue Miller. And was that Billy or Betty Wells? I put it on my Facebook page and a collective-obsessive friend promptly identified the artist and the subject.
The artist was/is Betty Wells, a well-known courtroom artist. I nosed around and found a book of her art at Amazon.com.
The Sec. Miller was/is a former Secretary of the Treasury, G. William Miller.
I still haven't had time to figure out why he's been drawn as being awakened by a phone call. I'll post if I do.
