“Norman Smith, Saguaro Ribs, Arizona” (c) 2019 Stu Jenks.
Price: Not for sale. Currently on loan to Tohono Chul Park, Tucson, Arizona.
A complex piece of wood, with unexpected curves but a solid foundation, much like my father-in-law.
A deeply generous and spiritual man, Norman Smith, in his 50-plus-year-career as an attorney, argued before the U.S. Supreme Court five times. That’s right. Five times.
“It’s a shame Stu’s father didn’t praise him when he was growing up,” Norman once said to my wife and then she said to me. I mist up every time I think of him saying that. Norman’s one of the best men I’ve ever known.
He prays for me three times a day. I’m not making that up.
