Thank You George,
Recording this footage is a joy, I am truely blessed that I have not only learned so much from, whom AJ and Russ Mowry refer to as "The Graybeards".
I am proud that they trust me to tell their stories in such an entertaining way. Until Bill, Sr. mentioned it, I had forgotten all about the font "Egyptian", and as a result of spending a few days peeking over Beckner's shoulder, I am going to be more diligent in how I clean and store MY brushes.

Terrific demonstration of a nearly lost skill. One small thing. Applying gold is gilding, thus a person doing this is a gilder, not guilder.

Ah Dennis,
Thank you for the correction. I know better... editing in the middle of the night has it's risks. Please forgive my type-O.

Now everyone's gonna know about Our Bill.
I always feel his ponytail when I hug him, it's like silk.
Bill is cool. And a regular humble guy.
He makes it look soooo easy.
Love....Jill

Carol,
Great work. It really catches the duality of the meets I've had the priviledge to attend.
An intense learning experience in a truly fun
atmosphere surrounded by massive talent.
Your little production should be be titled:
"Why You Should Attend A Letterhead's Meet"
BRAVO...

Great job Carol.

You do a really good job!

Hi Bobbie!
I did a bit of the special effects at the very end of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB6Acr2yZpw which shows Bill Riedel, Sr. lettering the sign, it was too much fun. I hope to finish a complete one of just that soon. BTW... Very nice to meet you!
