Mural painters find local model

To the editor:

While dining at Port Cape Monday night I was approached by an artist, Cameron, working on the river floodwall mural, and was shown a picture of a person on one of the panels, Capt. William "Buck" Leyhe.

Amazingly, I looked just like this guy and was asked to model for the mural.

I am so honored to have the opportunity to model for Capt. Leyhe and assist in this great work of art.
