and then you meet some of the fine people at the Creek!
Last year following the death of my FIL I wanted to have something made for my MIL. I wanted a lasered photo on black marble. I contacted Keith Outten and he suggested a "young guy in Florida" that was doing good work. So....searching the threads here I found the young guy was Pete Simmons. I contacted Pete.....scanned in some photos; emailed them to Pete and Pete made an lasered black marble photo containing two pictures of my ILs. One was a wedding photo with my MIL and FIL who was in his Army uniform in the photo. The other photo was taken at their 60th wedding anniversary. The marble photo Pete lasered contained both pictures and as Pete put it at the time "It was haunting". At the same time I asked Pete to do the same with our latest family photo. Pete emailed me later saying he wasn't happy with the family photo but he didn't have anymore 12x10 (IIRC) black marble and couldn't get any more of good quality. He sent them both along to me and we negotiated what my wife and I thought was a good price for both lasered marble photos.
Last week after seeing me post a photo of my great granddaughter and I asleep together after dinner, Pete PMd me saying he was still bothered by that one family photo ....and if I would send him the pertinent information about my great grand daughter he'd make what's in the following photo at no cost to me. We sent the information to Pete Tuesday IIRC and look what the USPS delivered on Friday.
Pete.......We were happy before.....my wife, me, my granddaughter (Riley's Mom) and her husband are awed! Thank you! You really did good work and you really didn't have to do this!
If you need some lasering done......Check out Pete's business. I am not connected in anyway....just another happy customer!
