Chronicle-working with a Custom Designer (M. Morrell)

[Richard Sherwood]

As I remember, AOE was planning on taking his fiancee to Italy for a week or two.

I had mentioned Frank to Mark Morrell recently and he had wondered if any of "us" had heard from him. The last Mark had heard from Frank (Aprreciative-of-Expertise) he had been in a car accident and wondered if we have heard about if he went through with his plans..(traveling etc...) or not..




I hope Frank is doing well whatever his situation might be...

 

[Patty]

Oh no. I hope he's okay.

 

[openhelix]

That's horrible. We certainly wish him all the best... First rockdoc, now this... one more coming. (always in threes)

 

[Appreciative-of-expertise]

Hi all!

I am back with some pictures to share that Mark took prior to sending me the ring. I apologize for the delay in posting these as I had promised but has some setbacks, accident included (rear-ended). Also traveled to Italy for the first time during the time away. (Awesome!) Thanks to all of you for your kind comments.

Although I think the pictures look nice, I don't think they do the ring true justice. When taken back to the scale of wearing it on a finger, the ring does not look as heavy but more "sexy" and "flowing". Regards!!

Hi Frank,

I hope you're feeling better. Your ring should be in your hands in the
morning.

I moved pretty quickly after we last spoke. Took the a series of photos
before wrapping your ring for shipment. I worked some of the photos down to
a reasonable size. Thought you'd appreciate them.

Looking forward to speaking with you on Tuesday afternoon - tonight is
another long one.

Best

Mark
