    Huge thanks to you.  My mother, who was recovering from surgery, could not make it.  We brought the caricatures over to her yesterday and she laughed like there was no tomorrow.  Take care and I hope we have a chance to do something like this again in the future.

Chris,
    First, glad to see you made it home safely.  The caricatures were a big hit.  I'm seeing them posted at workstations all over.  We genuinely enjoyed working with you and hope to do so again.  You were very easy to work with and I appreciate your flexibility.  Thanks again.

Minnehaha Academy's Sadie Hawkins Dance, Minneapolis, MN
Chris,    
    You're the best.  Caricatures are the highlight of the evening for these kids.  They will look forward to them every year.  If you want to pencil us in for next year, it should be the same weekend, and I'm assuming the same place.  If you think of it sometime in the near future, send me some business cards.  I have told so many people about your work.  I'd love to see you get some more business through Minnehaha.  Have a great year.
-Terri Bergstrom

Thank you again.
