I pick up a copy to treat myself and find a fine piece on Frank Newfeld (before <em>Alligator Pie<\/em>, when he really was a magical designer) and a poem about Richard Outram, who I knew slightly, years ago, at CBC, as a long-time off-camera studio guy \u2014 props? I think so. And then something by you, titled Dingbats, Ornaments and Fancy Initials. I start reading and am charmed to learn about the barn and the Bunyans and your very smart treatment of your dad, then the fact that you&#8217;re putting the things online as downloadable shareware. Terrific, I think. I&#8217;ve got to tell a couple of designer friends, who will be tickled to have these things available.<\/p>\n<p>And then I hit the last paragraph. a) I don&#8217;t remember us ever talking about those dingbats, etc. specifically, but turning them into shareware was exactly the kind of thing I meant. Good for you for picking up the idea and running with it in that direction. b) You&#8217;re very kind. Nobody ever thanks consultants publicly like that. Finding that credit was a total surprise and delight. You are completely welcome \u2014 and now on my browser list of `Favourites&#8217;.
