| Comments: | Hi, Aunt Anne
Believe it or not -- I was actually able to read and print out your website pages on Brass Ring!!! It was so nicely done but, of course, sad -- will send to mom for to her see. You're in the wrong business -- you're too creative to be in retail!!! Take care. Love, Diane |

| Comments: | I really enjoyed your site. I'm the president of the National Foundation for Carnival Heritage, a project we've been working on for over 10 years. I was doing some research on the history of the brass ring for our Carnival Heritage Center when I found your site. Have you considered having the story printed on a artistic poster and framed for purchase? Would you consider allowing us to do something like that to be on display near an 1900 antique double decker carousel which we are restoring? This is something special about these old carousels, the art, the music, those special moments. Thanks for sharing yours. John |

| Comments: | Anne, I loved the Brass Ring. The story made me sob. I know how much you miss your father. After all, he was my Grandpa and I loved him too! I didn't know that story and now I'm glad you did share it with me and others. He had a message there, Anne, grab the good times and hold on to them as long as you can for we don't know when they will be gone. I love you, my beautiful, loving aunt. I wish only good, healthy times for you and Gil. Love, Cathy |
