Boyd Smith Lives again!

One of my favorite patient portraits, which I featured in my first Book All in a Day's Work, was that of Boyd Smith. Some time ago, a Vermont artist named Lisa Walker asked my permission to paint Boyd's portrait. Now she has sent me the result, which won "Best in Show" at the Vermont State Fair! She is now looking for any of Boyd's relatives, so I am posting it here with her email:

Hi Dr. Way,
  If you recall, I asked you if I could paint your photo of Boyd Smith a couple years ago. Well, I finished it and entered it in an art show at the Vermont State Fair, and it won Best in Show. I thought yo might like to see a photo of the finished product. I was also wondering if you could give me any more information about Boyd. Many people who see the painting ask me about who he is and I have to admit I really don't know. Does he have any family that might be interested in this portrait? Anyhow, thank you for giving me permission to paint this.
