The other night I had to make a presentation of C&W work for a group of college
students from both San Fransisico State and Golden Gate College. During the
course of screening TV and airing radio, I was struck by the enormous
contribution you have made to the quality of our work over the years. So many
ideas that would have been just so-so without you became just great WITH you. In
other words, You have my deepest thanks --- and respect as and artist. Most
sincerely, Fred Manley
