Dear Shirley:

The Ocean View: Southern California Coastal Lifestyle has grown new legs. Thank you for the continued participation.

Currently, Ocean View is showing at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage (through July 27). I hope you have had the opportunity to enjoy the show at the Autry.

The staff there tells me that the show is exceptionally popular. It did not surprise me when the Laguna Art Museum indicated that they were interested in opening the Ocean View exhibit at the beach. The good news is that Laguna Art Museum is able to accept the show as their summer 2003 exhibition. It will open August 2nd or 9th.

As you know, Kevin Boyle selected your artwork because it portrays a critical niche in the evolution of surfing and coastal lifestyles.

All told, your artwork is imperative in Ocean View.

Please agree to the extension on the loan for our photographs.

Laguna Art Museum will provide a terrific venue for Ocean View. You may notice, the enclosed paperwork is a fraction of that which was included in the letter' from September 2001. The museum does not really need multiple signatures. This time, I am asking you for ONE signature.

Sign the enclosed one-page loan extension and return it to me.

Thank you in advance for participating in Ocean View Laguna Art Museum
Sincerely,

Steve Thomas
Curator of Collections
