 UNSOLICITED ENDORSEMENT from an Author in Marthas' Vinyard. . . .

Good afternoon, Tony!

    It is now 5 months since I shattered my kneecap and I will be going into surgery tomorrow for a little fine tuning.  I would not have made it through the last 5 months without the aid of your marvelous canes.  When I was first injured I purchased a one-piece dogwood bark cane which was capable of bearing nearly 100 pounds more than I expected to put on it.  Subsequently, I purchased a diamond willow cane sith a naturally-shed antler handle as my "dress" cane for business and formal occasions.  Most recently I purchased a unique apple cane with an ergonomic mahogany handle.  It has now turned into my workhorse cane throughout my recovery and rehabilitation.  For those of us going through a rough patch during the course of our rehabilitation we have developed a dependence upon your products and derive both strength and confidence in their durability and fashionability.  Throughout my rehabilitation I could have survived without your products but it would not have been either as pleasurable or as much fun

        Sincerely,

            Christopher Knowles

ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT. . . .

Hi Tony,

I just wanted to let you know we received the Betty Boop walking stick on Thursday and my Mom began using it that evening. The true test was her taking it to the mall with her on Friday to meet friends. She said it helped tremendously and she wasn’t nearly as sore when she came home. She loves showing it off and has been taking it with her everywhere. J All her friends want to know where she found such a cute cane. It’s quite a show-piece for her. I’m not sure how I can thank you or tell you how much it means to me that she is happy to use the walking stick and that she is in less pain after her little outings. Plus I don’t worry as much about her losing her balance and falling. And, of course, thank you for sending it out so quickly. You’re a wonderful man that is improving the quality of life for many people, not only those that use your beautiful walking sticks but for their families that care for them as well. Thank you!!!Beth Blase & family

HERE IS A PERSONAL NOTE I JUST RECEIVED: [parts altered for privacy]

Dear stickwithcharacter,

Hello- it is time to purchase a second walking/hiking stick from you.
This is for my daughter, who is heading out on the AT. I love this one- it needs to be about 40 " ( her elbow height is 40", she is only 5.2 so do you recommend a wee bit taller than 40"? ) and I would like to get a monogrammed plate on it, along with your traditional leash/handle and whistle. Initials are MMC.
Would you kindly give me a price and also include shipping to West Chester, PA 19380. I gave my dad one of your walking sticks on his 80th birthday- he uses it always and gets so many compliments on it. He will be 90 this August....You created it with a brass horsehead from a fireplace set. And since he is from Louisville, it couldn't be more perfect. So should we attribute his longevity to your walking stick? Please let me know what other information you need for the basic hiking stick. I will send you payment as soon as I get a total from you.
With thanks, Rosemary C???????
