To the Gracious Staff at Ken Farmer Auctions & Appraisals,
Because of your generosity, preparedness, and assistance, the 3rd Annual
Southwest Region Prevention Retreat was a wonderful success, and the
Prevention Services staff at New River Valley Community Services would
like to thank you for your donation of your space and all of your help
in planning and preparing for this meeting!
Not only did we receive a wealth of compliments regarding the creative and
unique environment, we also received positive comments on the
friendliness and support of the Ken Farmer staff. You aided us in
providing a welcoming and spacious environment for our meeting, and
thanks to you, we set the bar high for next year's meeting! It is
part of the meeting protocol to have attendees evaluate all components
of the retreat, and out of a possible rating of 4, Ken Farmer
facilities and staff received an average of 3.5!
Your assistance in planning this meeting was not only very helpful, but it
helped us to realize the importance of community action and awareness
for our youth in the New River Valley region, and we appreciate your
support.
Again, on behalf of the Prevention Services staff at NRVCS, I'd like to thank
you for your kindness. We couldn't have done it without you!
Sincerely,
Patricia C. Dale, M.S., Prevention Specialist

Dear Ken,
Thank you so much for treating the ladies of the Tuckahoe to such a wonderful
program. Wednesday was truly one of the nicest days I've
experienced in a long time. Please know that you will be welcomed back
any time! Everyone loved you and your "show"! Looking forward to your return visit -
Fondly,

Dear Ken,
While
we realize you try to remain modest about the Roadshow and all your
other accomplishments, please know that your work is well known and
respected. Your fine reputation is a real draw for our show.
Many thanks,

Dear Mr. Farmer,
Thank
you for an opportunity to bid on your February 1, 2009 Antique
Auction.... I also appreciated the kindness of your staff
including Kelly, Mary and Dorothy in successfully coordinating the
phone bidding from the point of initiation to closure. I couldn't
have asked for more amiable, astute personnel to assist me in securing
this document.
Mr.
Rick Hayes from Handle with Care Packaging Store was instrumental in
coordinating the collecting, packaging and shipping of the item.
I found him to be very professional and helpful in selecting the most
appropriate manner in which to ship the parcel safely to my
doorstep. Mr. Hayes and I talked during the planning stages and
he even called me back after he picked up the document from your
auction house. Rick advised, due to the importance and value of
the document, that his shipping company crate the item for an even
safer delivery. As promised, he picked up the item on Monday,
February 9th and delivered it by Wednesday, February 11th, just in time
for Lincoln's birthday. His tone of confidence was instrumental
and essential in alleviating my worries.
Again, thanks so much, Mr. Farmer for providing this unique opportunity.
Sincerely,
Howard Tin

Dear Ken:
On
behalf of our Board of Trustees, our staff, and myself I wish to extend
a very heartfelt thank you to you for your donation of time and talent
to the Hickory Museum of Art.
The
evening was a wonderful success. Our staff and patrons are still
talking about the event, and we truly hope we will be able to offer
such an event to the public in the future.
I
know you went on a lot longer than you had intended and I really
appreciate your willingness to talk with and give brief explanations to
all who were there and had brought items for you to see. I do
hope you were not too tired at the end of the evening.
Again, my thanks for such a wonderful time.
Sincerely,
Lise C. Swensson

Dear Ken,
Many
thanks for sponsoring the Community Foundation's successful Holiday
Auction. The way you auctioneered with Steve was just what was
needed - it was inspiring, humorous and action-focused. If that
bravura performance were not enough, your guitar playing with Abe was
over the top. Very cool! You are a player!!
Your
staff as always went out of their way to be helpful - Dorothy, Mary,
Adam made us feel welcomed and well-supported. Kelly brought much
to the auction. Bob came through in countless ways. What a
crew you lead! Many, many thanks for a great partnership in service to the community!
All the best,
Andy (Morikawa)

Thanks
to all for the nice check. It always amazes me what you do with
what I bring. The display was very impressive and all your
efforts in my behalf are appreciated more than you know. Sure
wish I had more jewelry!

Ken Farmer & Staff,
We
really want to thank you for allowing us to be represented at your
auction house last Sunday. All of your staff was friendly and

the participation in the surveys was also appreciated.

Dear Mr. Farmer,
We
attended your day for appraisals on April 16, 2008 in Radford. It
was very nice to meet you and the other people in attendance.
You
gave us valuable information on the items we brought. This
service you provided was greatly appreciated by us and I am sure by
many others as well. It is good of you to take the time to help
others in this way.
We
enjoy the Antiques Roadshow and watch it regularly. It is one of
our favorite programs. It is because of shows like this that we
support PBS.
Again, thank you for your time appraising our items. Best wishes always to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Larry & Gail Washburn

Dear Bob,
Kelly
and Dorothy and all the rest of your fine colleagues were wonderful to
work with an diligent and caring int he execution of the auction.
I felt like they had the same commitment to making it all work that we
did. It would have been oh so difficult to try and carry
this off working with folks who treated us like an inconvenience.
And, of course, nothing of the sort ever happened. We were all
treated like friends. Rest assured that I will send friends and
neighbors to Ken Farmer Auctions & Appraisals with words of high
praise.
Warm Regards,
Lisa K. Garcia
