Hi Julian, Great article on your work - I remember you were always a engaged person on a mission and going somewhere.. Are you on facebook?

[Lisa Charmoli Pennington]

Hi Julian, nice reading about you and your career. Last I knew, you were at UW-Stout taking up Graphic Design or was it Industrial Design? I'm glad you are still able to use your creative talent and I wish you the best in your future endeavors.

We were fond of your crabcakes when we dined at Carver's many years ago...still think they are the best in the COUNTRY! However, when we called the restaurant today to make reservations for this coming Saturday evening, Fritz told us crabcakes weren't on the menu and had never been on the menu...so cruel trick - making us think we could have them again!

Our tastebuds are so SAD!
