Just wanted to thank you again for the opportunity to be with you and the many other happy folks who experienced the Feather River Canyon trip.  I know you put a lot of work into making this special trip a reality and it all came together extremely well!

J.Wallace

AFT is a real dream come true for me. Thanks for all your hard work!

Paul G.

R.M.

You know I’m always looking forward to the next release and its arrival with great anticipation. I treasure my Lowell Smith Signature collection.

R.M.

These are indeed miniature masterpieces.
