      Dear Tatiana, Thank you for this wonderful text. I never red such a comment about my son and his work. It makes me very proud. So far away from Timaru it is a good feeling to know, there are stuff around Moritz who love to work with him.
      Alles Gute und herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland

From it I can see you've had a  remarkable and interesting career amongst some great talented craftsmen and artisans and have formed a great company in SIOC which you must be proud of. The tragedy of the losses SIOC suffered with the deaths of your men following the earthquakes is so sad and I am sure is a deep loss to you and Val personally.
