Mr. Saper, Thank you so much for allowing us to come and visit your beautiful art gallery. What a memorable experience for my students! Many of them have never had the experience of being in an art gallery. Many of them do not have fabulous male role models in their lives either and you were a fantastic role model to them. I truly appreciate the time you took out of your very busy day to spend an hour with me, my intern and my students. They have not stopped talking about it. The discussion you led them in was so valuable and it went along so well with what we are currently discussing in class. Thank you for the opportunity and for the complementary copy of Rob Gonsalves book, Imagine a Night. I read childrens books to my students to begin discussions and this is a great addition to that library. Stacey, Resource Teacher, Haslett High School

Dear Roy, Thank you for the fast shipping & handling. I really appreciate it. I will be happy to call on you again for any future purchases.

Thanks for your work on this appraisal. I always appreciate how professional your appraisals are. Always a pleasure working with you. Ron (Michigan)

Aloha, Barry (Honolulu)
