Hey Jordan,

Our sculpture was installed at our train depot yesterday and looks amazing!!

Our community is so excited to have this in our downtown.

I'll send more photos after the formal dedication.

Thanks for all of your help in making this possible!

Hi Jordan,

The plaque worked out perfectly!

We still can't believe it was done in time! Thank you!

We were able to temporarily get it installed on the rock. I am attaching a picture to this email.  

Now that the ceremony is over our staff will have to build up the rock a little to permanently install it.

Thank you!!

Hi Harlan,

The statue is positioned just in front of the Park Museum called "EDEN PALAIS, CAROUSEL MUSEUM" which was our new attraction 2019.

This museum traces the history of the GÉLIS family from the traveling theaters of the great grandparents to the creation of the park in 1987.

Bests regards,

Dear Harlan, Jordan & Austin,

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Hello Austin,

Thanks again, Don S.

Just wanted to send our sincere thanks for The statues of the children that we purchased from you.

I promised I would send some pictures when it was complete.

We have some nice lighting on them at night and they are a wonderful addition to our front yard.

Thanks again,

Linda G.

Jordan,

Have had lots of compliments on the statue!

Thought you might enjoy seeing it!

Your bronze arrived in perfect order & looks terrific in our yard.

I attached a couple of photos so you can see he’s happy here.

Many thanks.

Have you seen the man sitting on the bench in front of the Hillsboro City Library?

Did you wonder how long he could sit there reading or call in a welfare concern?

The new bronze statue purchased by the Friends of the Hillsboro City Library has been turning heads since being installed recently.

The man is shown reading a book with a small girl laying on the bench beside him contently listening to the story.

According to Library Director Susan Mann, the friends group purchased the bronze statue to compliment the new sidewalk installed in front of the South Waco Street building by city public-works crews.

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,

Jordan,

Just got the two statues situated in our yard and they are outstanding.

Wanted to thank you for your help. Maybe one of these days our ways will cross again.

If you ever need a reference please feel free to call me.

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!!

The bench is beautiful.

Everyone cannot get over how great it looks!

I need your business information as I have had several people asking how to get in touch with you.

They all want to order benches and things so if you would please send me the information website etc.

Again thanks for you patience and I appreciate all you did for me and my family. That means the world to see something that will live on and on.

Jordan,

Meet Jacque & Yvette. We absolutely love them.

Thank you so much!

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,

Harlan:

It arrived today (I Love My Puppy)! Nancy loves it and we hope to have it appropriately named by Valentines Day. You have helped make me feel like a hero. Thank you for helping make it happen.

Best Wishes,

Here is a picture of a statue your company made for Mr. Staples.

I love what you made.

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

Harlan,
Several months ago I met you at the Texas Library Association Conference. I
mentioned that I had one of your bronze sculptures. I got it from Cape House
Gallery in Staten Island. I just love my girl reading a book- it brings me
so much pleasure just having her standing by our goldfish pond!
At the time I promised to send you a picture or two of my girl reading a
book. Here are the pictures. Enjoy.

Harlan –

We have completed a welcome sign to our Youth Baseball Park with the batter in his follow through sculpture. I have attached pictures for you to see what we did with it.

The end of the bat is approx.
12 feet from ground level to give you an idea of how tall and wide it is.
We designed it to look like a trophy.
Hope you like what we did with the sculpture to present it.

Thanks for all your help.

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!

Hi Jordan,

We unveiled the Lucky Ladybug Girl yesterday at our annual party for our non-profit
golf program for some local schools in our area. Everyone really likes it and appreciates the story and legend behind the art.

Thanks again for all your help and I hope that this statue will lead to additional business for you folks down the road.

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!

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.

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

Charley

Jordan,

We had a remarkable event yesterday and the statue is absolutely wonderful.

Everyone loved it.

Thanks again for creating a wonderful image of Mayor Affronti.

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.

Austin,

It was such fun talking with you again this year....

I am sending you a few "rough" pictures of the sculpture at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in honor of my Mom!

I'll try to take some better ones this spring for you to see.

Best wishes to you!

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"

Good afternoon Harlan,

The bronze greyhounds arrived safe and sound a week or so ago.

They look wonderful and I have had many compliments on them.

I have attached several photos for you to see them in their new home.

Thank you again for all of your help with ordering the greyhounds.

Sincerely,

Jordan:

First I want to thank you again for guiding our sculpture choice.

I am especially glad that I took your suggestion on the green clothes. It certainly adds dimension to the sculpture.

As promised, I have attached a picture of the sculpture in its new home.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Rose:

I received shipment of the frog sculpture last Thursday afternoon and I wanted to let you know that it looks terrific in my garden! Thanks so much.

Hi Mr. Rose,

Here is a picture of that gorgeous bench installed in front of our library.

We finally got all the issues figured out to attach the bench & WOW does it look fabulous,
everyone who comes in to the library is making comments about how beautiful the statue is & what a great memorial for the McGill’s.

Thank you so much for all of your assistance in creating the bench & getting it to us,
we look forward to adding others someday! We will definitely tell others about your company.

Best Regards,

Denise L.

Well, after some serious crazy days, it all came together last minute.

I found an angel at YRC in Vegas that was somehow able to convince the team there to pull the bench out over the weekend.

I was able to pick it up first of the week, go the little girl late on Tuesday, and I had a welder lined up on Thursday to come out.

And made it up to the school for the dedication on Friday. EVERYONE was blown away, everyone loved it.

I didn’t have time to do the final install, so I made a blank for it to sit on so everyone could enjoy it, and I will go back this week to do the permanent install.

I really appreciate you and your teams efforts to make this happen for me. It was an amazing day that many will remember forever, and the bench will be at the school for everyone to enjoy for many many many years.

Thank you again so very much.

Mike A.
