While it may be a small sum to the school, it is a large sum to those to whom it was/is owed, and to the public watching how they back up their claims of being supportive of artists with right action. Bravo John.

Thanks to John who took a stand and stood his ground, even though it was so long and hard... even getting blacklisted (which I hope is no longer the case). Penland is so important to us all as individual artists and to our community as a whole. I'm glad they were big enough to own up to the mistake, apologize and their willingness to make this right. <br />Lynda Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340180439742162227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638497050839732163.post-54724707080792340182012-09-01T18:26:14.622-04:002012-09-01T18:26:14.622-04:00Happy birthday John!!

It's good to see that Penland has come to their senses and is going to make this right, even though it took a relentless passion and action on your part.<br /><br />Anyone can make mistakes, but they are judged by how they handle them and Penland did not handle this right initially. Bless you for standing up for your fellow Penland workers and getting this resolved.<br />I laud you for your courage, which so few have shown in this matter. Courage is doing what you know is right without thinking of the consequences. You are a super hero in my book!<br /><br />June Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431678118459690271noreply@blogger.com
