Testimonials

More than you asked for...  but will give you the full flavor of the location.

Will try to remember to send you a pic in the spring when the bulbs at the base bloom.  Sister is so thrilled.  It was the perfect tribute.  

Will you send me two copies of your color brochure? I want to have available here and in the Foundation's office in case anyone else wants to make such a donation in the future.  

Many thanks, mmj

Harlan,

Mary Ruth Morgan, one of my commissioners, said you wanted the attached for your files. “Quality Time” is a big hit with our members and guests. The day we dedicated the statue our sister city Uiwang City South Korea was here for a visit and participated in the unveiling. Often folks come in the building and remark about how beautiful, fitting and realistic the piece is.

The article appeared in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.

Thank you for  a job well done and if you need anything else let me know.

By the way our facility is 60,000 square feet of fitness and classroom space for members 50 and older. We have an average attendance of 750 per day and a yearly attendance of 120,000. We have 17,000 members and over 4500 active on a monthly basis so, your work gets seen a lot.

Feel free to use the information in “bragging” about the piece, we are doing a little bragging of our own.

Can't buy any more now but just want to tell you again how thrilled we are with our little boy and girl reading on the bench. We love it and our yard/garden is the perfect place for it. Thanks!

Dear Austin,

Thanks so much for your inquiry............Sorry to say, I don't have any pictures of the sculptures in our children's respective yards, but I want to tell you that every last one of them was delighted with the sculptures and the fact that they were personally selected to fit their individual tastes!!! As a matter of fact, I can't believe that a year has gone by since we worked with you on this "project" (All thanks to Ted Flickinger...), and Bill and I are at a loss for any gift ideas which could even possibly come close to matching last year's!!

Your kindness and generosity..........not to mention, your personal touch as evidenced by Thursday's email to us..........have been greatly appreciated. If I have the opportunity to take a couple of pictures when we are with our respective families, I will try to send them off to you. I can only tell you that the sculptures look superb in their backyard settings!!

Bill joins me in sending warm regards to all,

Mary F.

Harlan: I enjoyed visiting with you by phone today. Here is a photo of me sitting on the library stacked book bench, in front of the bookstore on the square, in Georgetown, Texas on 11-19-10. It is an exquisite piece, and I would so love to have one, for our new Tom Green County Library in San Angelo, Texas. It is due to be completed in 2011. I congratulate you, on creating a unique piece of art, so suitable for a library or book store.

Best wishes, Louis F. Attorney at Law San Angelo, TX

Nice speaking with you today - Austin had sent an email to my home and i just replied to him - the questions i asked of him yesterday were answered, the frog is ordered , and our beautiful property will now be adorned with 2 fine cast sculptures - my dad isn't living any longer but he would be so proud on how hard we try to maintain the beds, grounds etc - both in landscaping,flowers, and fine work like your family produces - keep it up !

Thanks again - Nancy S.

Hi Jordan:

Finally got around to sending the pictures.  It looks really nice in the yard.

Happy New Year.

Jordan,

Meet Jacque & Yvette. We absolutely love them.

Thank you so much

Just to let you know that we love our sculpture, 3 children on bench reading. My question: does it have a more formal name than the above?? Bette Hooton

A darling little blonde-headed, pony-tailed girl as tall as the statue glanced at it as she came into lib. b/c it is positioned to be seen immediately. She walked toward it and I was watching her as she got nose-to-nose w/ the little girl sitting on the bench. And I heard her say, very softly, "Hi." Wonderful, huh!! 

Hi Harlan,

I want to apologize for taking so long to reply to you. We love the sculpture we received from you. It has been a wonderful addition to the library and the community continues to praise the piece! I am putting in the mail today a copy of the local newspaper with a picture of the sculpture in front of the library. The picture ran on the front page of the newspaper in late November. As you will be able to tell from the newspaper article “our little man” has stirred up a lot of talk around town!

We are currently planning a spring event to dedicate the piece and plan to have a few events during the celebration. We will be asking the public to name the man and the little girl. We also will be asking the community to tell us “What is he reading”.

I can’t wait for the input from the community. I have been asked several times if we are going to get any more sculptures. Many people in town would like to see us acquire additional pieces.

Thanks for checking on us and I hope to see you in San Antonio in a couple of weeks.

I will put the newspaper in the mail today!

Talk to you soon,

Harlan, all is well!

See the attached picture.

We love her.

At the time we took these pics, the fountain water pressure was still not adjusted.... we love the final result. We're still looking for the right statuaries for the 2 niches.

We love our sculpture - We have the "Children Reading on Log". One has its head in the other's lap.

Attached is a picture of our display. The sulky teen in the picture is my daughter on opening day.

Regards,

Austin,

Received the dog today. We are thrilled with it. Thank you very much and have a great day.

Hi Harlan,

As you can see from this photo taken by a local resident, the Acrobat Kids are now bolted down.

It's great to see little kids talk to the statue as they walk past it - mostly "Bye, kids" as they leave the building.

What I didn't expect was people asking for the name of the piece and the artist, so now we have that info posted.

Thanks again for a great piece of artwork and answering all my questions!

Jordan & Family:

Enclosed you will find pictures of our library with an indication of where the "kids" are to be placed. Thank you for the great tour - we enjoyed it so much and expect to do future business with you. The restaurant you sent us to was out this world - food, service & atmosphere were prefect. Of course going home we got "Lost in Yonkers" but finally arrived back in Waterford. Thank you for everything - We love "Rose" & "Randy"
