December 2001
NEWS LETTER
Another year has come to a close....and what a
year it's been ! It is the sincere wish of all of us at Alexis
Arts, that your year has been filled with as much joy and laughter as
you could handle.
We had a year of magnificent art produced by the
greats of our time. We have had tragedy . We have had our
eye's opened. We have seen technology move forward in areas we
can hardly fathom. We have endured, learned, and look forward
with the hope of a better tomorrow.
I have been blessed with a "grand
daughter" born on my birthday. Such a miraculous gift I could
never imagine. Right in the middle of the September Tragedy, amidst
all the dust and rubble in our lives, God shined his light on me
through a grand daughter ,and her name is Rachel.
