I am so honored to have recently completed this portrait of Packy and Marian Nespeca. I first met Marian at a show, and the following day she brought her husband, Packy, who was a vice-president at American Greetings. For decades after that, Packy was responsible for several AG portraits each year, and this work supported my family through all the years that Karen and I were raising our children. We are so grateful for the friendship we developed with this dear couple who were married for over 70 years and mean so much to us.
