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.

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!

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.

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.
