The speakers that you chose for your symposium could not have been any
better for the layman or the professional. Most impressive was the talk
on the “Five Centuries of Rug Weaving in Kerman , Iran ”; by, Dr Taher
Sabahi. His incredible knowledge of the history of the Kerman area, the
weavers and construction techniques made me feel as though I was at the
feet of a master, listening to the passing of knowledge, through the
ancient art of oral tradition.

Equally impressive, from a
business and marketing view; was, your son Ashkan’s, lively and
entertaining presentations on the necessary and correct ways to market a
business on the Internet. I’m sure that everyone in attendance walked
away with a renewed sense of energy and ideas to help them stay atop
their competition as the internet continues to change and reinvent the
dynamics of every business.

My many thanks to your son Kash for
opening the door to your world, it was his professionalism, patients
and knowledge that allowed Ann and I to feel secure in knowing that our
rugs and tapestries were in the most capable of caring hands. No
business could have a finer ambassador to represent its products and
services than Kash.

The knowledge and history that you, your
guest speakers and working masters imparted to the group will always be
of immeasurable value to both Ann and me as each of us continues to add
to each of our minor collections of rugs.
