<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">I guess maybe an apology might be in order. I
did not mean to denigrate the artwork at the "Strange Website". The whole thing
could be looked at in a different perspective. Because the drawings were under
the title of "Studying the Master Vol I", from my perspective it seemed to mean
that the drawings were those of Mr. Barks. Looking at it from a different
viewpoint, I suppose that one can also presume that it represents the works of
someone who has "studied the master", and in that sense I am not trying to be
critical of the artist who drew the ducks. I am not the only one who may have
interpreted things the way I did, that they represented Mr. Barks works. So,
please accept my apologies for any misinterpretations of the website and I hope
that you in-turn, do not misinterpret my motivations--i.e., to indicate that
these were not drawn by Carl Barks.</FONT></DIV>
