"Hi Jase! your portrait got here safe & sound and it is beautiful. and thank you for the posters and letter. You know i will save that letter, i have a feeling one day your signature will be famous and then i will have it framed.(smiles! but I mean it!) How did you enjoy the States? Did you have a blast? I am sure that you will be busy as all get out for a while, but when you get a chance drop me a line ... I am getting so many compliments on the portrait you did for me......I have two more that I want you to do for me in the very near future. but for now i will let you do "catch-up" on your work. take care and hugs, Lore"

"Jase- Got the pic the other day, looks great! Thanks again, for it and the coins!! I ordered a frame today, I'm sad to say it cost more the pic. Is that ridiculous or what?!? So we meet at last? It's been fun talking with you, keep in touch if you get a chance.

"Visited your site, again. Man, you've made some changes!! And grown!! Seems like you've gotten your hands into a little bit of everything. Have you done anything (painting/portraits) in oils? Before I forget, you mentioned sending me a clean copy of Grey's portrait. Could you do that so I can send it to my family? Much appreciated!!

"... I suggest Florida (upper Gulf side), if you're coming to the States. Nice sandy white beaches. I spent a year there if you have any questions. Good luck in all your endeavors!!

"Take care and remember all of us little people when you're a big and famous artist!! Tess"

"Dear Jase, I didn't want you to think I had forgotten you or that we didn't get the picture. We did - John loved it and it is now framed and looks fantastic. Moving has been hectic but we are finally settling down again. I am already thinking about my next commission! Best Wishes. Rebekah"
