Dear Friends:
After our first failed attempt to create a website about Painted Wall
Sundials I was sad and disappointed, but Dave Bell and I received so
very many letters of support and encouragement from so many of you,
that you changed our minds, and we decided to attempt to redo the
website, but this time in the proper way. It was just too important
for us to abandon it. With a new attitude and renewed enthusiasm, over
the past several weeks, Dave and I have been working very hard, in
secret, redoing the entire website. This time around we made every
possible effort to fully document the painted wall sundials in our
Image Archive and to get permission from all the owners of the
photographs to use their photos. We should have done this from the
beginning as you m! ade me realize. You all taught me a valuable lessen
for which I am very grateful! So, in return, Dave and I would like to
give to you, our friends on the Sundial Mailing List, this website as a
Christmas Present. We’re sending this letter to you on Christmas Eve
in the Western Hemisphere so that our friends in Europe will get it on
Christmas morning. I only regret that I could not gift wrap it for you
with a pretty ribbon like the ones found on so many painted wall
sundials!
Dear John and Dave
A splendid present to open on Christmas Day!
Many thanks for your renewed efforts.
Yours
--
Mike Isaacs
