Karats Vail 
Dan , We still love and show off the beautiful things we bought from you—Show pieces in Gowrie and Ft. Dodge, Iowa. We have one of the pieces we bought for my wife that needs an additional piece added for size. Can we send it or maybe next fall or early winter we will travel to Vail—now retired 10 years, getting old (77) now but healthy and travel in a Winnebago motor home. See Nik now & then and think of your parents, especially your mother a lot. Special regards,
Dean P. Erb & Keya E. Brighi
