Re: [SilverStreak] SS sabre logo casting

["Patti Glover" <silverstreaker1966@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, my email to you really opened up the logo dialog.  I am so excited that 
Tom has taken on this project.  He seems to like doing it, so ..luckily we have 
this info stored in one spot where we can all access it.  Thanks for getting 
back with me, Jason....patti

in replying -- i was refinishing the 
floors in the house and had packed everything up for a couple days. I 
haven't got too far on the costing. I dropped my SS and Sabre logo off after 
our last round of emails and being a favour --- it seems paying jobs took 
precedence! The pricing from Tom seems very reasonable and it would be hard 
to get a better cost plus shipping from Vancouver Island always seems to 
cost a premuim.

thanks Tom for taking this on!
Jason
