I am new to your village. my name is Jennifer Hahn Frix.; I am a close acquaintance of your father.

You both have absolutely stunning script, signatures, hand writing pizazz!

People , due to computers and cell phones , have lost the important art of the self through hand writing. And you look so much alike, I have to take a double take dean. be well, and give em hell.

Iu really like what you have achieved, and it is not an easy genera, to work , and survive in.

GOOD ON YOU

Thanks, Jennifer.

Agreed -- handwriting is a lost art form.

Sometimes a friend mails me postcards with handwritten scribes. I cherish those.

My Father and I had an ongoing handwritten letter , yellow legal pad, ritual. I saved his letters in a large shoe box. I cherish cards with more than a Love ya", and I live for the mail box! I write love letters to my husband, at 3am, so he can read them in the morning.

I have my favorite pens, and use non lined paper.

I get it!

Right now, (as i told your dad), i am writing my first book. I sit with a white candle, white paper, and a stack of fine point sharpee markers, and stop when my hand cramps:)

I hope this finds you and yours , well Dean.

I really like what you did; i just read it, and the box of letters stuck , mentally.

I confess to having illegible script, but I do try to be neat. Oh well.

I am happy for your success Dean, and your father is so proud of you.

I hope it's okay to say so. Take care, Jennifer NYC (that woman) Manny calls me "that woman"

Romantic.

Reminds me of a comic I wrote & drew years ago called "A Letter lasts longer."

(I'll try to find it)

Nothing beats a personal touch.

I was sorry not to be part of John's panel, or even just present for it. Such a loss. But was great to see you at the show!

Great to see you, too, Liam.

The John Cassaday memorial was a last minute addition. A lot of people missed it. No harm. No foul. It was good to talk about our comrade. I'm sure there will be plenty more.
