I must say, Ed, you came a long way for dinner Saturday night at Jay's in Dayton I hope you enjoyed your dinner with your friends; they seemed very nice. Since you are an artist, it was too bad you couldn't get a better look at my wife's cane. The old man that made it in New Zeland was a salt- of-the-earth person who also was an artist, though not of your quality. Your bronze work is exceptional as is your website. THR

I would like to thank you for supporting Studio2000 and
praising the ceramic piece I did which won Best in Show this
year. It is so amazing to be given such amazing feedback
from a distinguished artist such as yourself. It was so
unexpected, and I will always cherish it. I hope our paths
cross again. Studio2000 has been the only time I have ever
done anything with clay, and thanks to it and your support, I
have been able to discover so much more about myself than
I ever thought I could.

We would like to take a moment to let you know how much we appreciated seeing York. It was our first trip to Louisville and what an inspired piece of work. I can't wait to tell my sons the story they won't be told in school about York and his contribution to the Lewis & Clark expidition. We can't wait to meet you in person; but until then, God bless you richly and please do let us know if we can be of any assistance to you. David and Liz.

We would like to take a moment to thank Mr. Hamilton for displaying his work at Nazareth Arts for Life in Bardstown, Ky. Our art department had the pleasure of listening to Kay Grubola deliver an overview of how your sculptures were created and the history of your life as an artist. We were both delighted and excited to have been given this opportunity. Thank you so much for exhibiting at Nazareth. We are so lucky to have this facility in our own back yard. Hopefully this experience will enlighten some young mind to the wonders of art. Sincerely, Gianina Hagan, Bardstown High School

Big Ed,

I should have made comments many years ago; no matter, the works are par excellence. The scope and breath of your talents augmented with the awesome pieces you have created are unquestioned. God has truly blessed you. I know Bernadette has been there in your corner from the get, my brother. You know the best is still yet to come for you. From one fellow artist/designer, you have been an inspiration to Black Louisville artists. I must say you are the true embodiment of what Montage was all about. and I'm not patronizing you. I'm just proud to know you and so glad that God has allowed me to get to know and be a true friend to you. The true artistic realm of mind, body and soul is definitely you. Love, Peace, Happiness,and Harmony to you and family.

Bonjour m'ami,
Bill from The Ville(even though I'm in Virginia)

My GreatGreatGreat Grandfather was a solider in the Civi War. He was a slave in Prince George County, Maryland. My grandmother is still living and remembers "Grandpa" never spoke of his experiences as a slave. He loved the 4th of July. My great uncle who was an educator, completed the reseach that preserved this part of our family history. Now that I am older, I will continue my uncle's work so that my children will inherit this legacy of our American family. I am so grateful to my Grandfather William H.D.T.Wilson
for his courage. The monument is beautiful. It is befitting that we honor those soliders who carried Freedom's standard for the future generations of our people.

Hi Mr. Hamilton,
I don't know if you will remember me but I am one of your former high school student from Iroquois, 70,71 & 72. Got to see your show at the Speed and I wanted to let you know how proud I am of you. I knew then you were destined for great things. I have an old black & white photo I took of you in my photograpy class of you doing what you do best - sculpting. I thought you might like it. Let me know by e-mail and I'll send it to you. All my best. I would love to see you again maybe next time I get to Louisville.

Mr. Hamilton...I teach graphic technology at
Somerset Community College and show some of your
works in graphics as examples of what can be
produced with new technology. I'm no artist, and
don't claim to be, but many of my students have
talent. I really appreciate being able to let them
see how another Kentuckian has been able to merge
art and technology so successfully. Keep up the
good work...really enjoyed your show at the Speed

Thank you Mr. Hamilton for your great work and significant contribution to the historical Hampton University landscape. I was a trumpet player in the symphonic band at the dedication ceremony under the baton of Sylvester Young and remember the feeling of connection with history that was conveyed by your spectacular work. I stop by the site every year when I visit the campus for graduation or homecoming and I am perpetually rivetted by the symbolism of Booker T. pointing to the Emancipation Oak. Thank You!

Yo Ed, Thanks for the 'personal' tour of 'From the Other Side' at the Speed last week, since I couldn't be there for the (gala!) opening. It was amusing and refreshing to hear the lowdown on some of those pieces I saw you working on back in the '70's! Truly inspiring work. And yet, your obvious greatness notwithstanding, you're a model for sanity and calm in our current crazy times. I'm amazed that you're as humble today as you were 35 years ago!! Keep the faith and carry on!
Best regards, lmj

As a student I knew that you were brilliant, but even I would never had imagined how you would evolve as an artist nor the magnitude of the body of work that you have created.

You touched my life and made an indelible impression on me and I am proud to be able to call you "teacher".

As I haved looked over some of the works that you have created over the past thirty years I am in awe of what you have accomplished and what I know you have yet to achieve.

God Bless You, Mr. Hamilton

Ed;
I finally had a chance to visit your web site. As I expected it is impressive, but does not carry the power of your works themselves. They must be seen. Nor does it reflect the man, whom I have come to admire greatly, as much as it might. Keep up your good work--in and outside the studio!
