Greetings from Geoff Shearn

I have warm memories of the many recording arists from MGO and Kingsway, which you so graciously hosted over the years. You imparted a real spirit of encouragement to young artists, producers and recording engineers alike. You were also always working on constantly improving the studios and installing state-of-the-art equipment, which gave such a boost to help raise the recording standards for companies like ourselves who were struggling on very low budgets and simply could not afford the more expensive commercial studios at the time.

Perhaps one of the most memorable of those occaisions was when John Pantry, became unemployed and you agreed to allow him record a demo of his songs for a very modest fee. I know you were very concerned for him and gave him much support. The outcome was the remarkable "Empty Handed" album which so eloquently expressed John's wonderful conversion and the beginnings of his journey with Christ.

It was only after several years that I be came aware of the hidden musical talents of Elizabeth and yourself. I was so touched by the gentleness and warmth of your singing ministry.

May God bless you both and bring much happiness in your golden years.

Geoff Shearn
