You captured Laci's personailty beautifully! I can't wait to see them in print. The one of all of us is great, it's something that I will cherish forever!

You not only have an amazing talent but a great passion that comes through in each and everyone of your pictures! The Memorial Day Parade was great and so is the new website.

Kudos to you and thanks for the dedication you continually pour in to your work. Jan and the rest of the parade committee deserve a giant thank you and a year full of praise for once again putting together and executing a fantastic parade. I have participated in the bike decorating and riding fun the past several years and this year was by far away the best attendance I have seen along the entire parade route. It was so much fun!!

I was there on Main Street, but now feel like I saw the whole parade--bird's-eye view, too. Thanks for such beautiful and personal symbols of an emotionally profound holiday, and for a uniquely Metuchen take on small-town parades. And thanks for your irrepressible humor! Yep, that shot of Jan is the best--and there's no doubt who's in charge. When are you going to quit your day (er, night) job?

Thank you for capturing the beauty and pagentry of the parade and ceremony. I missed marching with the Chamber this year. We were at a family wedding, but watching the slideshow I feel like I was there. You have a gift and you do Metuchen proud. And the photo of Jan ... priceless. PS - Tell Gregory he could give James Earl Jones a run for his money! Great speaking voice. Jules -
