The caricaturist at our company picnic was one of the most popular events of the day. Don was bombarded by the number of children that parents wanted sketched, and forfeited breaks to try to accomplish them all. I received a number of comments on how well Don handled the many children that were waiting to be sketched. Our parents were very impressed by his ‘bed side manner’. As for the sketches, they were great. His fees where fair in comparison with other costs that day vs. enjoyment received. Don-thanks very much. We had a number of operators comment that your booth was the highlight of the day-since it isn’t always easy to please, this is a great compliment.”-Pam Laursen, HR.
