Mikimoto (America) Co. Ltd

Dear George, Thank you for the excellent work you performed on the official Tournament of Roses Rose Queen crown. Due to damage caused in transit, the crown needed to be repaired. Time did not permit its transport back to Tokyo or even to Mikimoto in New York. You took the time necessary to complete an almost invisible repair to the historic icon. We appreciate your care and concern for this precious item.
