Dear H2,
Thank you so much for sharing your trip to China! We were there also this October, visiting a son in Hong Kong and then taking about the same tour as you did with the exception of the River tour. We really enjoyed reading your trip itenerary and looking at the corresponding photos and have the same reactions you did. Some day if you ever get a chance, go to Hong Hong. It has soooo much to offer regarding architecture as well as culture. There are about 100 islands that make up what is known as Hong Kong! And if possible, stay at the " Upper House" (which is above the Marriot Hotel) with direct views of the harbor.
Thanks again for sharing.

Dear REV,
Sorry to learn that Fall 2010 was the last online issue because we really enjoyed your magazine all these years, but I'm sure the new blog will be a great replacement! We look forward to our peek into Henry's appraisal knowledge with the coming of each issue. And, we want to welcome you to the neighborhood!
We're away off from Melbourne, here in Ocala, but a heck of lot closer than Connecticut. We hope you find the Florida lifestyle to be so great that you'll soon consider your Florida home as the main base, with the alternate home way up north!
Thanks for all you do.

Dear Henry,
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a happy 80th. I began my appraisal career in 1971. In March of 1972 I took my first Appraisal course offered by the Institute in Chicago. I believe it was one of the first courses that you taught. The other instructor was Arlen Mills. Your teaching set me on the right track to a successful professional career and I thank you for that. I hope you have many more birthdays and enjoy your time along the Florida coast.

Dear H2,
I see that you had a glitch in your recent email when the URL for your Blog was mistyped! Accidents will happen... By the way, I still have purple rubber worms from the Forms and Worms days! I have been a fan of yours for 30 years now. Thanks and I wish you a great New Year in 2011 -- and let's hope for the same in the Appraisal Industry.
Sincerely,
John Welter

Thank You, Henry!
Since becoming a Massachusetts Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser eleven years ago, I have relied on your publications more than any other resource! You are a wealth of knowledge and a leader in our profession. I have thoroughly enjoyed your inaugural Blog.

Been in this business since 1979 ... HH -- you have been there for us with forms (before computers), advice and the most intelligent outlook on the appraisal business, way better than any of the "suits" and "academics". It's true that icons eventually move on, but never retire. This business needs you, HH -- more than ever!! Keep up the great work...

It's Been A Great Ride
Dear Henry:
I can remember one of the earliest seminars I took from you -- I think it was on Hilton Head Island about 30 years ago with the AACA -- and you have always been an inspiration to me and my staff. Through your seminars, guidebooks, forms and especially those bass worms (!), you have added a dimension to the appraisal industry that isn't even closely matched by others. Maybe your name won't be on any appraisal theory or a bricks-and-mortar library but you will always be the first and foremost authority on how to survive in the appraisal business.
It's been a great ride –– and as I can see from your photos, it ain't over yet!!

P.S. Seems like Florida is a great place to be; I am writing to you from there myself. If you ever want to do some fishing or chew the fat, I am right down the road from you in Stuart.

What a pleasant surprise to see email from REV magazine this AM...Like a long lost friend, I've always been happy to hear from Henry and enjoy his easy-to-comprehend take on the appraisal industry. I believe I have most every copy of REV magazine in my library and printed articles from the more recent web versions. He has the gift of getting his thoughts on paper in a way that is easily absorbed.
Happy Belated 80th Birthday and I look forward to your blog entries.
Best Wishes!
