| Comments on Richard’s tours and lectures
“On behalf of the Friends of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, I would like to thank you for the stimulating and interesting lecture you gave to the St. Cloud Friends. From all of the comments I heard, your lecture was enjoyed by everyone attending.” “We want to thank you for all your good planning and hard work on the North Shore tour. It was a splendid success for us to be able to see all those architectural treasures. You and your cohorts never forgot about our creature comforts, either. Thanks a million.” “Thank you again for the very delightful Frank Lloyd Wright tour…. We found it to be most informative and congenial. As a past tour participant, both active and passive, I understand the degree of planning, development and follow-through required. Despite the threat of ‘near misses,’ I felt that you exercised a high degree of patience and calm (visible)….Your opening presentation certainly set the stage for the following journey.” “Thank you for agreeing to participate and for making the Arts and Crafts program successful. Your presentation was wonderful; I enjoyed it very much….Also, your comments and details about the houses on tour were essential to the group’s understanding of the subject.” “This is a thank-you for your contribution to the program about the Arts & Crafts era. My colleague and I thoroughly enjoyed the day….Your commentary was informative and interesting.” “Many thank yous for your work on the Arts & Crafts Day. Your presentation captured the spirit of the movement. Your slides are great and your enthusiasm for Arts & Crafts ideas and objects was contagious. Thanks also for all the mundane work that made a great day possible.” “Thank you very much for your time and effort devoted to making the Wright Plus tour such a fine event. Your comments before and during the tour added a great deal to our enjoyment. The videos were a great idea.” “Thanks so much for everything you did to make our Arts & Crafts in Minneapolis tour such a grand success last Friday. We wish you’d been at AAM [American Association of Museums] to hear all of the good comments the tour participants made to us throughout the meeting. We also really appreciated the information you provided for photocopying as well as you bon mots on the bus ? let’s do it again!” |
