		8-5-04 "Hello Kay - It's been a little crazy with moving, traveling, and all, but I wanted to drop you a line on the polo program. We have had many complements on the program this year - the cover specifically. Players can be very particular about polo art because there always seems to be something not quite right about the tack, the pony, the player, etc. "Obsession" is almost a polo lesson in and of itself. The players are in position, the subject player is beginning a swing with perfect form - hard to do and hard even to photograph - can't imagine getting it right in oil. He's also balanced and is not "in the pony's mouth" with the bit. Such a great piece, and we're fortunate to have it as the cover this year. Thanks again." - Tony Lott, Lexington, KY
