In My Volunteer Work With The Association Of Workers And Families Of Captured And Missing U.S. Servicemen, I Met The Family Of Major Art Hearns And Came To Know And Admire His Wife And Two Young Daughters. Often I've Seen Francie And Mary Ann And Their Concern And Active Attempts To Write Their Dad And Our Government Officials About Him, Which Inspired The Painting.
While I Was Working With The Girls The Small One Said, "Shall I Cry In The Picture?"
I Told Her, "No, Just Keep Writing."
She Said, "When I Worry About Daddy, I Cry A Little."
