Thought to let you see this letter I received from Jeff Schmuki. His =
work
can also be seen on www.southernartistry.org
. Our thoughts and prayers are with =
these
guys. Saterday will be very hard for them.
"Thanks for thinking of us. Lee Renninger and myself lived two blocks =
from
the beach in Gulfport. I am this Saturady the 10th of September flying =
back
to salvage what is left. Images from NOAA satillite tell us the house =
is a
total loss and our studio has half a roof. Lee's position at Harrah's
entertainment and my professorship at William Carey College on the Coast
most likely ended with the destruction of those propteries. Both Lee =
and
myself will be unable to complete current commissions or those that are
planned. We hope to salvage works that are already scheduled to =
exhibit.
Our plans for rebuliding are yet unknown. We can both be reached =
through
our websites: http://leerenninger.com and
http://jeffschmuki.com . Also I have not =
been
able to contact any other artist from the area. I know Tony Wright of
Mobile and Keven Turner of Gautier are suffering as well. As for Lee =
and I,
We are trying to figure out just what to do. Once we know more then =
we'll
know what help might be necessary. Thnak you Antoinette,"
