Email from Paul Frederick

[Sheila Pursglove]

Wow, Paul must have received our eblast from PPFA about the Southeast Chapter Framefest in Florida - and he wrote to wish us all the best.
Wonderful to hear from a framing legend! I remember meeting him at a PPFA Convention, in 07 I think, in Vegas.

 

[Gregory K. Norris CPF]

He is the rock star of framing. It was 07 & I was there, but could barely get a word out in his presence. He has a Facebook page and posts once in a while. But it is especially good to know that he is thinking of us.

 

[Kai Vanuffelen]

Good to hear Paul still shows an interest in pictureframing. I wonder if he does some framing in his spare time. Where is the email? Can we see it?

 

[Cathy Coggins]

I was floored! I felt like Frank Sinatra gave a shout out to Frame Fest. So being the goopy gal, told Sheila to send him a big kiss. And she asked me to Email him!!! :shocked:
I love meeting cool people in framing, and I get to be quite awed. I own a copy of one his books that I got off Ebay, because it was signed!

WOW, Paul Fredrick. He apologized that he can't make it! Are you kidding, I think it's cool you noticed us!!!

WOW, Paul Fredrick.

 

[Sheila Pursglove]

And another little email - apparently he's 99 years old now!

He wishes everyone Happy Framing.

I invited him to join us here at the Corner -- fingers crossed.:smile-new:

I think it was his ninety fifth birthday I sat next to him at the Chinese Dinner in Vegas.

All he cares about seems to be helping people.

Really Nice guy!

 

[Robin Gentry MCPF]

Wonderful Man! I met him once probably '07 at the convention. So nice and so knowledgeable. Without him we would not be having such great camaraderie with other framers. We all owe him a BIG THANKS!

 

[Andrew Lenz Jr.]

I remember talking on the phone with Paul about 25 years ago with regard to something in his book and he wasn't young then! I was going to say, "He must be 100 by now!"
:lol:

I'm glad he's still kickin'. Amazing.

Glad you brought that up, Cliff. Yes, he did come to the Chinese Dinner! THAT was a great table. I actually saved his "reservation" and the nice note that went with it. I keep it in my Framer's Answer Books, which I regret that I didn't bring to the dinner for him to sign.
