It is such a pleasure to have received this excellent magazine from Franz! I have been dreaming of the artwork in your magazine for several nights, and am still enjoying this beautiful publication.

I admire your designers and their works of art. I am 87. I have painted over 2000 paintings (from insects to elephants), and I have written many poems. Radio stations seem to love my poetry, and wellknown radio show hosts have read my poems on air.

I am not a professional painter or a poet. I am just a chief secretary living in a nursing home. Although I cannot hold a pen steadily these days, I am willing to take on the challenge and write to you.

I especially love your Poppy Flower series. I truly appreciate your work.
