Just off the foyer, the dining room features portraits of Roy and Marie. Roy's portrait by Carol Kirby is a reproduction of the one that hangs in the Capitol. The one of Marie was painted by Saltness Parks. A cabinet housing much of Marie's collection of nativity scenes, not pictured, also is here. "They're not expensive," she says, "just things that I like." Among them is a scene in a Southwestern motif that features buffaloes instead of cows.
