Hi Dennis;
—-just one step followed by a next step and one day at a time….

Ha!....have you stopped sleeping yet because of last minute finitude? And then comes opening day and in you walk, the master of your show and a calmness settles….for once again you know that you are in control….

Thank you and I know you can!..
GODSPEED,
Frank

Go get em, Dennis!

One of the things that always strikes me about artists or craftsman that are successful is that for many it tends to happen quickly. They could be struggling along for years with little recognition and then suddenly their work is the hottest thing there is. Your work is ready Dennis. It just needs to be found.

Great luck Dennis. Our prayers are with you.

Dennis,

Regardless of the out come of the design project you are truly a gifted artist whom I admire.

With you, the essence of greatness is not having to be.

You are a inspiration to many, including me.

You will be rewarded in due time.

Keep the faith.

Hi Dennis:

What an exciting time for you!!!!! Stand proud, chest out….....the presentation starts with you!!!

Only the best….....Neil

Dennis, our hopes, dreams and prayers go with you. I wanted to come over and spend a day but Carleen says we need the money for other projects. So, Vicariously at least , I’ll be there with you. God Speed my friend. Like Bob Babcock said,”He worked his tail off for thirty years and was and over-night success”.

Best of luck at the conference. Your work is outstanding!

After looking at your web site and the quality you have on display there, I think the next logical step is the WDC. Go forth and conquer, your time is now, you are ready, just take a deep breath and do it!

I will put a word in for you just in case!

Dennis, I’ve seen your work come along for quite some time now if anyone is a professional it’s you my friend. I don’t think you have anything to worry about, but I know how you feel, I’ll pray for you anyway. You can’t compare yourself to Mark, Maloof, Nagashima, Green and Green whoever. We’ll be talking about the Dennis Mitchell style of woodworking. Remember buddy,” the only person you have to please, is the man in the mirror”. You’ve done some wonderous work that I’ve witnessed. You did’nt copy a soul, it came from you. Go get em. I know I’m proud to know you. God go with you, mike.
