Olan (don't call him Timmothy Olan Montgomery, his birth name) is a customer at the bank as well as an artist, and he wanted to do something for those women who have been greeting him with such grace and so many smiles since he started banking there two and a half years ago. Being a Southerner (born in Georgia) and a gentleman, he refers to them as ladies.

Now, I hold onto every little canvas—and thank God, I've not only kept the portrait Olan Montgomery made of me, it's looming on my living room wall and lording over all the portraits.
