I would like to make a public apology to Bea.

I am very sorry if I have "hurt " Bea or anyone else in this respect.

I have used both the #15 and #18 Hanga Exchange prints in recent weeks
for a hanga workshop I did here in Perth, Western Australia and have
had both on display at Tresillian over those respective weeks and have
had wonderful feedback on these exchanges including Bea's so I am very
pleased as I explained to her personally that I will be seeing a lot
more woodblock prints coming from her .

When Charles did not get a reply to Bea's email I emailed him privately
with a query that I thought I had read something on Maria's Cairn
project and suggested he email Maria.... It was not for public comment.
I also picked up on the "Retrospective" for Bea and put both memories
together.

So glad Bea that you are alive and well and your "Retrospective"
Exhibition went extremely well as your site and commnents indicated.
Well done.

So sorry, Bea,

Jan T

I once worked at an public access television station and had the assignment
of calling our members to inform them of the death of one of the station
managers. Sacramento Carol's mother was volunteer camerawoman at the
station and when I called her home she was out so I left a message; "I'm
sorry to have to inform you that Connie passed away last evening..." Later
that evening Carol's mother called me at home and said "Patti, hello, are
you sure because I could have sworn I awoke this morning..." In my
distress over a coworkers death and flustered about needing to leave a
message I'd forgotten that Carol's 75 year old mother was also named
Connie!
