Thanks Kimberly for sharing a little peice of your Dad with us.
I watched the video tonight, My 4 year old was amazed that a man could create letters with just his hand and a brush.
It's funny how hand lettering still sparks amazement in people.
This will be a nice addition to my collection.

Thanks Bob, I knew the guy for 35 years and it still amazed me what he was able to do.
Funny you mentioned your 4 year old. My daughter is 5 and when I was copying the tapes she came in, sat down and watched it. She looked at me and said "Is that Pop-Pop?!
I hope that you all enjoy the tape.

Kim - thanks for the video. I haven't had time to view it yet, but will this weekend. It will be nice to visit with an old friend.

Ray, You always manage to pull at my heartstrings.
BTW, I meant to tell you all that the sign he shows and talks about during the show (he mentions that it was made by another artist) was done by Mark Baty. It's a gorgeous piece of hand-lettering and gold leaf on a framed piece of glue-chipped glass. I have it here in my house.

I also thought the video was great on what a man can do with a brush. He was quite a guy. I know you were very proud of him. I'm not sure when my story will come out I wrote about him in Sign Builders Illustrated. From all the research I did on your father I felt like I knew him, but after watching the video it really seemed like I knew who he was. He was a true master!

Thanks Cisco.
Thanks for letting me know as your tapes have arrived safely. I appreciate it.
For those of you in Canada & England who requested tapes, I hope to get them out the beginning of the week. I have to take those to the Post Office and submit a customs slip for them. The US ones I was able to give to my mail carrier.
