It makes you stop and think about the past. It's very lovely and unique too. M.H.

A beautiful display of art we enjoyed it very much. M. & L.B.

Dear Mrs. Lesch,
Your pieces of art bring to mind so many of the hours that I spent arranging dots and lines in my art classes, but I never concieved the idea that such a basic lesson could be carried so far as to create such original beautiful portraits. Hooray for portraits not of oils! Yours will forever bring back wonderful memories of wonderful people. You've reached out and touched Someone and Everyone. God Bless You. M.Z.

I think it's wonderful that someone would take the time to do something like that. I think it is all beautiful. W.H.

Your work is sensational. I'm sure it alot of hard work. Thanks K.H. 9th

Thank you for sharing this fantastic expeerience with us...and so many experiences at once. D.R.

Thank you so very much for sharing your talents and skills with us. Your fabric art display was a joy for me. I've known about you for years - my friend, Carole C., is a talented artist who enjoyede one of your seminars (years ago). She is doing beautiful pieces now; they hang in her home in Columbus, GA.
Everything displayed is exquisite. I love the "personality" displayed in the (each) costume and especially enjoyed the skill in framing them. However, my favorite pieces are your "November" and"Joseph's Coat". I would like to own either one of them.
One of my special dreams is to see a good Kentucky art permanent display at the U. of Ky. Art Museum. Your name would be my first choice as an artist exhibitor. J.K.W.

The exhibit is most unique and interesting. Yours is truly creative art. I appreciate it.

32 members of Brownie Troop #196 signed their names: The girls really enjoyed the exhibit! It has exposed them to a new and different type of art. Thank you for the opportunity to view your beautiful work. N.C.

I found it very interesting and it show you how much around us we can make into something beautiful. Y.B.

I always appreciated you as a neighbor, a civic minded person and your reputation as an artist but now have truly come to appreciate your exceptional creativity and ability to bring each creation to life as we've seen it. Your patience to do these tedious things is admirable.
Each time I was privileged tp conduct someone through the library to see your exhibit, I would discover new things to appreciate that I hadn't noticed before.
Thanks again for sharing it with us in order for us to appreciate it.
We love you as a person and are mighty proud you live in Bullitt County.
Sincerely, Dorothia Stottman
