Fred's Fans

I'll admit it. I like it when people have something nice to say about me. And it's somehow extra special when you take the time to write. Some samples are below. --Fred!

"Fred, you are the greatest. Regardless of where you go, thank you for being so great at what you do. You are LOVED by Austin. And judging by the amount of people who comment on my Fred Head sticker on my vehicle, you are near "rock star" status. :-) And by the way, you are not just appreciated for what you do professionally, but it comes across to us all just what a wonderful person you are. Thank you for being you."

We think of you often because you had a lot of kittens on your desk on the news one morning and we fell in love with a black and white one so we picked him up the next day at pound. That was about eight years ago. Hope you are doing great."
