Hi Everybody:

I've followed your comments about Lisa's Grandmother's Story and appreciate that you listened. Since Lisa has "thanked" most of you, I won't go there... but I do want to thank Annie for having the courage to provide constructive criticism. How else are we to improve. Thankfully, she tempered her advice with kindness and a degree of sincerity not often encountered.

I agree with Annie about the song not having much "commercial" value. It was not written for Nashville, NYC or LA... it was a simple little tribute to a wonderful lady and her husband who had the courage to venture to a strange land and thrive as they wove themselves into the fabric of this great nation. Their spirit lives on in the personage of the ever optimistic and creative Lisa Gundling and her Mother who inspired me with their story.

Thank you one and all... and especially, "Thank You, Lisa" for sharing this wonderful story and allowing me to try and make some memories for your remarkable family.

Dave
