‘Your introductions are truly beautiful. Impossible to say which I liked the best. 
We always attend the Boston and the Binghamton shows. I wish you could hear 
the Ohs and Ahs of the spectators when they stand admiring your outstanding 
creations. It would be sweet music to your ears.” Vernon P. Michels, Penn. ;
