8 ORNAMENT 35.5.2012 letters from our readers token of appreciation I finally have the time to go through all the stacks of paper that have somehow overwhelmed me here. My dear Arthur died on April 13, 2010, after years of battling MS (thirty years in wheelchairs), while he was continuing to teach upper level courses in science at Willamette University. He was Research Professor of Science and taught for forty-five years. I came across your twenty-fifth anniversary issue and was so shocked at how many years have since flown by. Please renew my very belated subscription at the one- year level (I'm seventy-nine!), and I am enclosing a small donation for your outstanding research and presentations. Mary A. Payton Salem, Oregon It is both an honor and a pleasure when someone deems your work worthy of assistance, whether financial or otherwise. Currently the magazine industry is at a crossroads, where growing one's subscribership in the digital age as well as finding print advertisers has been a challenge. Such donations as yours are truly welcome. We at Ornament sincerely appreciate your donation. ornament and polymer clay Thank you for your thoughtful review of Terra Nova: Polymer Art at the Crossroads in the current issue of Ornament, Vol. 35, No. 3. I appreciated your kind commentary, both as one of the exhibitions Boundary Breakers and as the designer/art director of the book. Together the exhibition and the book were groundbreaking for the field of polymer and Ornament's coverage was vital to their success. I am a longtime subscriber and I sincerely appreciate Ornament's mission and perspective. Your coverage of the entire field, including polymer is informative, educational and insightful. I also enjoyed your piece on the Mingei show in this same issue. Jeffrey Lloyd Dever Laurel, Maryland lovely write-up I just wanted to send a quick note to express my gratitude for including such a lovely write-up with beautiful artist images for this year's American Craft Exposition, in Evanston Illinois on the campus of Northwestern University, shown in Vol. 35, No. 4. The page looks just wonderful—as does your entire new issue! I hope you will be joining us again this August 23-26 for what should be an incredible 2012 show. Stephanie Glickman Chicago, Illinois
