The drawing looks a bit more like Bob Newhart, but it's a nice idea to feature the members of council. Just wanted to put my two cents in to say that Oliver Koppell is a man of great integrity and kindness. He also has a very good sense of humor and is a really decent man for those of you who want a more in depth profile.
