  1. You are very welcome…..glad to have been given the gift to be able to make your stay a little nicer :~)

  2. David – worthy documentation of a phenomenal artistic achievement. We are really proud to be in your camp :) I still reel just a bit when I recall wandering in the dark of the Des Moines gallery where you first unveiled the massed Illuminations – astounding work.
