Jin Seok:

Please accept this gift, in appreciation for your kindness and friendship.

This painting is titled, " The Beacon Light." The original was done in ink and watercolor. I commissioned this painting based on the original Internet Beacon logo that I created on computer. The artist is Jan Smith McLaughlin, a professional artist who lives in Waterford, Pennsylvania. She has been a dear friend of our family for many years, and was kind enough to do this painting for me (since I lack any kind of artistic talent).

This painting is now the logo of my web site, The Internet Beacon. The original hangs in my house. You now have Print Number 1, one of only 20 prints that will ever be. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.

My very best wishes to you and your family in the coming year.

Sincerely,
Vance
