After more than a quarter century of effort, Raymond’s instructions finally coalesce, and in a stroke of genius to make up for all those lost decades, Harding suddenly has his brush with fame, utilizing the three fitch technique in Pontiac.

That's quite a feat Harding, especially considering there is no paint on any of those brushes. -------------------- Chapman Sign Studio Temple, Texas chapmanstudio@sbcglobal.net

I am witness to David's painting with brush on the Allen wall. In fact he used several different colours there. Honest. -------------------- Deri Russell Wildwood Signs Hanover, Ontario You're just jealous 'cause the little voices only talk to me.

I actually did paint on this. My work looks better the farther you get from it. From Texas, it appears flawless! -------------------- David Harding A Sign of Excellence Carrollton, TX

Wow, David! While your hand-lettering skills may be a little suspect, your Photoshop expertise is unrivaled. Awesome clean-up job!! Here's the original photo that I saw... -------------------- Jon Jantz Snappysign.com jjantz21@gmail.com http://www.allcw.com

As you can tell from David's pic, he let his hair down in Pontiac. Sure wish I'd had more time to hang out with you David - you are the wittiest guy in Letterville (although Jon's not far behind.......) --------------------www.signcreations.net Sonny Franks Lilburn, GA 770-923-9933

I'm still wondering how Jon got my original photo. Let's see, Chris Elliott took the shot, he must have leaked it to him. -------------------- David Harding A Sign of Excellence Carrollton, TX

I want to know how Elliot still has the same boots that he wore at the Sandcastle meet, way back yonder. They must be parade boots, or to be more specific, parade athletic parephenalia... not to be worn everyday, but only on special occasions. Chris....if you're listening...I'm sorry to have missed you. You are an original, for sure. We will cross paths again. -------------------- Jeff Ogden 8727 NE 68 Terr. Gainesville FL, 32609

Neither did anyone else, Mark. I wasn't there, except in spirit. Don't ask me to explain why...it's too painful. I for one, will never again commit to a meet, unless all the travel money is already in the bank. Living in the edge, like I do sometimes, it's devestating if one or two customers don't pay you on time. But we will meet one day Mark...it's already written in the books. -------------------- Jeff Ogden 8727 NE 68 Terr. Gainesville FL, 32609

Bill, my hair was neat until, following Raymond's example, I started yanking it out to build my own brushes. Ray can't make brushes any more. -------------------- David Harding A Sign of Excellence Carrollton, TX
