You are so fortunate to have had that opportunity to spend time with Tim R. I heard him speak years ago at an Archdiocese annual event, and he projected the presence that you describe even to a crowd of hundreds. You wrote "....lead me to believe that everything that has been said about him....is true." Yep. Tim will continue to be a model for his field...and for us. I will share your writing with my 7th and 8th grade students in a few weeks. It will start a good conversation...... HI, Katie….I just read your story.

Kudos to you for putting your museum first, that's for sure...its a great story. Katie, I’m not sure I could’ve done the same, as sweaty and stinky as I’ve been after 13.1 mile runs!

I know how excited you were to have met him and I'm so happy that you have a picture to commemorate the event. Good thing you finished the mini in such good time. You would have missed meeting him, if you would have run at my slow pace! Thank you for sharing your story, Katie.

I’m not sure which is more bizarre – Mr. Russert posing next to this painting, or Katie showing up in mini-marathon garb. Great stuff – and a really beautiful post about a tremendous man.

Thanks for including this post and showing us the portrait - it does look remarkably like the great Mr. Tim Russert but a little flashier. :) I’ve always looked forward to my Sunday mornings with Tim Russert on Meet the Press, and I, like many others, quietly mourn his passing as an individual who did not know him but think very highly of him.
