Gary,

I meant to write you last week, when the chair arrived.

Everything was as you had promised. The furniture was beautiful, arrived on time. We have just delivered your beautiful hand-made rocking chair to our son and daughter-in-law, who expect their first child on Sept. 16. They both are pleased and proud to have this wonderful gift. Thank you for helping make their happiness.

Please accept our gratitude for creating a comfortable and lasting gift for our children. It was a pleasure to speak with you and to do business with you. Keep up the good work. I expect to be calling you again.

Sincerely,
B.B.

Gary,

They love it. The chair fits nicely with their furnishings and they are amazed at the craftmanship. THanks so much for working with us on this. They now have a lifelong piece of furniture that will outlast cribs, carseats, etc. etc. and can be passed down to another generation.

Dear Gary,

I am happily enjoying my new walnut rocker. It is not only fine and beautiful, but also extremely comfortable. My cousin had predicted disaster — that I would regret changing from the recliner because of the lack of padding and the inability to lean back with one’s feet up. My old recliner, named Big Blue, has gone to that Great Recliner in the Sky, and I sit like a queen in my chair where I read, knit, and watch television. I can report that my hips and legs do not hurt any more with the nerve pain that seemed to arise after about two hours. I think I can safely attribute this to the gentle curve of the rocker back as it supports the spine.

I also want to tell you how much I enjoyed the hour and a half during which we visited on the front porch of your showroom. You are a true artist and artisan, and I feel honored to enjoy one of your creations. It is an example of the integrity you build into your work, and that can only come from your own ethic of industry and honesty. I look forward to visiting you again sometime.

When I was a child, we had rocking chairs. I grew up with them, and I believe that if everyone in the world had a rocking chair, we would have less violence and trouble. They are restful to the body and soothing to the soul.

As ever,
T.J..

Dear folks

Our rocking chair was delivered yesterday in perfect condition. We love it — it is very comfortable and the wood grain is beautiful. Many thanks for the care taken in crafting the chair and assuring its safe delivery.

Best wishes,

Dear Gary,

I first saw your furniture advertisement in the New Yorker magazine in 1998. I marvelled then at the beauty of your designs especially your dining room chairs and tables. And, I could not believe the claim of a wood chair being comfortable for long periods of conversation or extended reading. Ten years of wishing for a beautiful dining room table and chairs has now become a reality. My 6 maple Wilson dining room chairs and Paschall table are not only exquisitely crafted but extraordinarily comfortable for dining, conversation, and reading — a reader's favorite chair.

Hi Gary,

The chair was just delivered. There was a mix up and it was put on the schedule for tomorrow. When I called at 4 and was told that, I begged and pleaded and they found a driver to take it. He even helped me undo the crate. The chair is beautiful and fits great. Many many thanks for all your personal help and hard work. You can picture me healing in the chair.

I really love it — my feet touch the floor and the arms are the right place for reading or knitting.

I will sing your praises to all.

Thank you very much for everything.

Gratefully,
J.B.

Hi Gary,

As promised, here is a picture of your (our) beautiful rocking chair. We are very pleased with it, it is very comfortable. The floor squeaks a bit while we are rocking, and the sound is quite soothing! It is really a nice piece in our living room, and it fits perfectly in the contemporary look of it.

It was a pleasure doing business with you, and I will recommend you to all my friends and family.

Thanks again,
G.B. and D.D.

Dear Gary,

The chairs have arrived in fine condition and look beautiful. It seems that once they left Texas, there was no holding them back. (Is that a parable of some sort?)

The pads you attached are just the ones I've used for other pieces on this floor, and they will be easy to replace when the time comes.

So, a happy ending — at least of chapter one. These chairs are built for a long history, and this is just the start.

Thanks for your work, trust, and care,
D. and S.
