I presume your doing research on him as well, and I wanted to ask....have you been able to find anymore pictures of him? The one featured above took me over a decade to find and in all likelihood is the only one to be found online. I was quite amazed to have found one at all, and the years of searching for one eventually yielded positive results!<br /> I'd be interested to know what research you're doing on Mr. Loomis. Truly amazing that someone else has taken an interest in his life and political exploits. If you have any questions go ahead and leave them here or on the blog Facebook page!<br /> AndyAndy Osterdahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435374277196946014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697913671320216364.post-27426941847450207312012-05-14T14:59:14.644-07:002012-05-14T14:59:14.644-07:00Another person doing research on the life of Arpha...Another person doing research on the life of Arphaxed Loomis!
