GREETINGS!
Welcome friends to our 2010 newsletter and Seasons Greetings to all of you! It’s been a while since we were last in touch. I wish to thank many of you for your kind thoughts and prayers during my wife Marianne’s recovery. She is through the worst of it and is doing much better. We are working on some exciting things and there will be more news to come. From everyone here at Garritan, we wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season.
Peace and Happiness for the Coming Year!
