DoctorGonzo... While I truly appreciate your compassion and understanding of Ed Port's situation and needs, I have to take issue with your opinion that the article was poorly written!
Personally, I thought the article was very well written by the Vindicator staff writer, Dick Dennis. Further you should know that the artist, Mike Murphy, chose to divert national attention he had recently gained on CNN for his unique Obama art work to once again try to help Mr. Port seek the medical care he desperately needs! Mr. Murphy had attempted to bring attention to Mr. Port's situation 2 years ago, without success, and saw his own recent nation recognition as an artist to once again try to help Mr. Port.
I personally was the one who brought to the Vindicator's attention, along with other local newspapers, Mr. Murphy's recent national CNN recognition for his Obama art work, as a former resident of the area who should be appropriately recognized. Aside from feeling the need to bring attention to someone who grew up in this area, I felt those who may have know Mr. Murphy should be aware of the national attention and recognition he has gained for his Obama art work. Especially considering the support President-Elect Obama gained in this area and the attention now being given to his transition into becoming our next President.
I commend the Vindicator for being the "only" local newspaper to run a story regarding Mr. Mruphy's art work; however, I commend Mike Murphy even more for obviously turning his Vindicator interview away from himself and directing the attention to Mr. Port's needs!
On this Thanksgiving Day, we should all think of those less fortunate than ourselves and be thankful for people like Mike Murphy, who think of the needs of others instead of their own personal gains!
The Ox Roast Car, Truck & Motorcycle Show being held at the Trumbull County Fairgrounds, Friday (8/29), Saturday (8/30) and Sunday (8/31) is the "biggest" and "best" show of its kind in N.E. Ohio! Best of all, it is all FREE!!... Free Admission, Free Parking, Free Entertainment, Free Food, Free Amusement Rides for Kids and over 1,500 Classic Cars, Trucks and Motocycles will be on display in 30 different classes! This is a great Labor Day Weekend event for all!
