| Comments: | I am 42 years young and feel passionately we are losing craft and beauty (where appropriate) in the world of graphic design. It has been a pleasure to have found your website. Thank you.
Have you thought about approaching the guys at House Industries. They are one of a handful of new young companies that provide a vital link between our computer age, young designers and those who should know better. I am sure they should/would be interested in your work. see: http://www.houseind.com/ Best wishes Steve |

| Comments: | Al was a great inspiration to me, and my dad. The finest compliment I've ever got was when he looked at a brush blended banded I did and said YOU did this? I stall have a wood print block he gave my father 30 years ago hanging on my wall. |

My name is Jörgen and I live in Gothenburg, Sweden. I found your site beacuse of the reason that i have a big painting on my wall sign A. Zanetti! I am looking for information about the artist. The picture represent a storming sea with rocks on the beach. Length 1.20 meters and high about 1,0 meter. Maybe I not have found the right person here to tell me some info but anyway you have a informativ site about A.Zanetti. Love/Jörgen |

It was my pleasure to know Al through the Letterheads. He was always very friendly and even invited me to one of his local shows at the library. To be in his house was like having a very special privledge to be in the presence of one who possesed greatness. Honored that Kimberly used the portrait I painted. |

| Comments: | Hello,
I showed up on Al and Linda's doorstep many years ago, much to their surprize. I, and my dog, were very welcomed. I was encouraged to pursue Al by a signpainter named Mike Frederick of Unique Signs, in Mamaroneck, NY. Since our meeting, Al and Linda were always delighted to encounter me at Calligraphic engagements. I will always remember him fondly and will cherish his works. I am sorry for our loss. Sincerely, Patti |

| Comments: | Al was a great Letterhead friend. Too bad he smoked so many cigarettes. My mother is an addict too, and will eventually share the same horrible fate. I hate the Tobacco company, drug pushers. They are a great evil that should be held accountable for the lives their product destroys. What can one person do to eliminate this wretched industry that owns the republican party? |

| Comments: | Al spent l6 years with me, on and off, as an apprerntice signman. I will always be in awe of his talents. From the beginning to when he went on his own I never saw a drop of paint on his shoes. That tells you something. He was a perfectionist. We were friends to his end. I will always be proud of want I might have contributed to his stature. |

| Comments: | Kimberly,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I would like to personally thank you for the opportunity to work with your Dad on designing this page. It was a very positive experience and I really came to respect your father's talent and eye for detail. I also sensed that he may have had a difficult time expressing his innermost feelings and I have no doubt in my mind that those Love prints were a reflection of what he wanted most in his life. God Bless You and Yours, Jeanette |

| Comments: | I love what I've seen here. I would like to talk to you via
email or otherwise. I've been a self employed sign maker for 7 years. I just opened up with scant knowledge about running a business or how to make signs, but realized at the age of 40 that I needed to use my artistic abilities, and signs seemed to fit very nicely. I've learned much from trial and error, but now I would like to tailor what I do so it is more enjoyable - and I have some thoughts about that, which I won't go into here. I'm 48 now, and need to change some things, and viewing this web site has given me inspiration. Looking forward to talking with you. Leslie |
