"Dear Leslie,
I enjoyed perusing your excellent book, THE REBIRTH OF MOTHER EARTH.
It is very sensitively done, The photographs are terrific. I wish you the best in finding a Publisher
and the audience that you deserve."

I also hope the video my class did on you will help with your future.

Sincerely,
Les Blank
