Nandita,

Sorry for the late writing after my father's birthday. Everybody loved the paintings (Thanks!), especially my parents of course. Two of them are being hung in their DC condo and one in their Alexandria, VA (right outside DC) residences. I left cards at the party and gave some to my dad as well. He though will be traveling for the next 3 weeks at one of the Alaskan Senator's fishing trips and then Senator Hatch's Utah event.

At the party, your fine artwork was admired by all. Some of the guest there were Senator Hatch, Former Ambassador to China Jim Sasser, Former Speaker of the House Designate Bob Livingston. I am sure they also all loved your work as well.

My brother Gary did a recording of different parts of the party. If I can get part of a copy, I will forward it to you.

Thanks once again for the great artwork that you did for my parents, my brothers, and myself. The paintings are all so, so beautiful. Your the BEST!!!

Thanks,

Dave

Washington, DC
