” It was a long time coming” said Dr. Theodore Bear, “but I finally was able to purchase a painting by that well known Renaissance Artist, Pooche Fishen.” This well educated young hound, Marcella De Veste, who could sing and dance as well as she could hold an intellectual debate and was also a well known patron of the arts. Dr. Bear has often admired Marcella’s work as an educated hound. I hope that you will join me in congratulating Dr. Bear on his significant purchase of this painting by Fishen!
