Your incredible retention of knowledge - and willingness to share it - is what has made my experiences in the sign business that much more enjoyable, Kent. You earliest of Letterheads made the mistakes - not me. My business has flourished from the collective Letterhead experiences - and my friendships are numerous now as well. How does one say a proper thank you?
Thanks for for being one of those who gave me - and many others - the courage to challenge ourselves by 'learning' for us, through your experiments, and the eventual sharing of what you discovered. Most of us tried to improve on that again - and then go share it again - as you all have done. THAT is what a Letterhead accepts as their responsibility when they say . . . "I am a Letterhead".
Thank you (and many others also) for that lesson - and the happiest of birthdays, good friend. It's a privilege to know you.

Happy bidet Kent!! I think what Jay was so eloquently trying to say is "I think we should have a Kent Smith Roast!" hehehe. You're top shelf dude.

You sure are top of the shelf, Kent! Full of wisdom, knowledge, & full understanding of the Craft, & not only a willingness, but a desire to share with others, even just people like me.
Thank you for the time you take to share all you know with us!
Have a really blessed & wonderful birthday!

Happy Birthday to one of the true gentlemen in the biz. We really enjoyed your eloquent "century toast" at the zoo meet.....

Sorry to be late Kent, but the computer was down. I wish you the happiest of birthdays. You are surely a 24 kt Letterhead, we are very lucky to have you and all the help and information you give us. A big day for me was when you and your wife honored me with a visit.

Wow. How did I miss this post?
A big (though belated) "Happy Birthday" to a true class act and someone who truly embodies the Letterhead spirit.
Thank you, Kent, for being so generous with your time, knowledge, and friendship.
