This is my modest tribute to His Excellency Mr. Sherman as Ambassador to Portugal. He was highly notable to the people in this country right from his arrival until his sad departure. I hope he will someday serve the US Embassy in Lisbon again. Saudades, Mr. Sherman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.158.30.248 ( talk) 20:38, 20 January 2017 (UTC) reply
