 bonjour, je ne parles pas anglais!!Je m'appelle Nicole,J'habite a la 
 TOUR d'AIGUES dans le vaucluse en France;Depuis le mois d'aout
 2008  je loue une petite maison dans le village  .cette maison 
 est mitoyenne d'une autre maison que je n'ai jamais vu ouverte
 depuis 10 ans que j'habites   dans ce village. Ce batiment partagé
 en 2 maisons est une chapelle construite en 1669 (a peu prés) 
 par un monsieur J.gueydan. 
 Elle a été vendue semble t-il en 1870 a differents prorietaires
 au cours des annés.On m'a raconté  que lors des derniers
 travaux  réalisés pour faire l'appartement ou j'habite, on avait 
 trouvé dans le sol ,3 tombes :1 femme 1homme,1enfant mais que l'on 
 arecouvert tout ceci rapidement pour que les Monuments Historiques 
 ne s'en melent pas;Cette chapelle s'appelait :Notre dame de Pitre 
 ou Notre Dame des Aires ,ces renseignements m'ont été donnés par 
 diverses personnes mais je n'ai pas de documents;Je n'ai pas encore
 eu le temps de les rechercher ;Si cela vous intérèsse  vous pouvez 
 m'ecrire ,Si c'est en anglais  un ami traduira pour moi ; amicalement

Dear members of the Houk family,
I thought you might be interested in seeing a photo of
the painting I have by Charles Herberer   "St.Valary
en Caux" 1891 oil on canvas 24" x 32"  Please find the
attached jpeg of the Heberer painting.
Sincerely,
Marie

(you can see this painting on the Charles Herberer 
page using the Sir Name list at the top.)

 Dear Sir -

 I am assisting Mr. Turner Reuter in completing research
 for his forthcoming reference work, A History of Animal
 and Sporting Art in America, 1650  -1950, that is to be
 published at the end of this year by the National 
 Sporting Library in Middleburg, VA.  I saw your website
 on your great grandfather Charles Heberer, who is 
 included in our book. 
 You have a very thorough biography on the artist. 
 Is much of your information based on your family's 
 recollections?  
 I really enjoyed the artworks on your pages, especially
 the portraits of the gun dogs! 
 If you would be willing to send me the information 
 that's on your website, I'll be able to complete the 
 biography on your great grandfather. 
 If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
 call the number below. 
 Thank you for your attention and I look forward to
 hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Abby Starliper
