Date: May 18, 2020 at 9:20:18 AM CDT To: Karen karen@29pieces.org Cc: Joye Fehringer joye.fehringer@nufoundation.org, Lisa Yoder lisa.yoder@nufoundation.org Karen, Joye shared your article and journal writings about Peter Beard. What a creative genius he was.....

I love the way you write. You may claim to be an artist first, but your writing style is as artful as your graphic work. I love it when good prose, like yours inspires provocative and stimulating visual connections...

Have a great week.

It’s unfortunate the way he passed, but he left a great impact and certainly inspired you. Love this article so much!"
