More On Graphology
A graphology story I heard from the Rebbe Shlita: There was a very wealthy talmid chacham in Toronto named Rav Avraham Price who had a photograph of his Rebbe the Holy Imrei Emes of Ger. The problem was that the picture was a little fuzzy so part of the Rebbes face wasn't clear. He hired a famous gentile artist to make a color portrait based on the photograph. The artist asked him if he had anything the Rebbe had handwritten. Rabbi Price had a letter the Rebbe had written him and he gave it to the artist. Based on the handwriting the artist filled in the unclear parts of the Rebbe's face. Meaning he was able to determine what he looked like based on his handwriting. When a chossid saw the portrait [I think it was the Rebbe's son] he stopped cold in his tracks. He said that for a second I thought the Rebbe was right here in the room.
