Go back to page 8 of this thread. Dick posted a representation of the plaque as it will look when installed at the Chelsea.
All the best,

Re: Chelsea Hotel Plaque
Hi Dick,
Just wanted to join in and say a big well done to all who are involved in designing the plaque. It looks brilliant.
Also wanted to ask you is there a cut off date for donations? I know someone who is interested in contributing
but may not be able to get around to it for a week or two.

Re: Chelsea Hotel Plaque
That's breathtakingly elegant and beautiful... and, yes, done with class. It's even finer than I had imagined it would be. The best possible choices of font, to whomever conferred and agreed on them. It is BEAUTIFUL and I am so very proud to have played a small part in it, albeit my whole heart was packed into that part.
WELL, WELL done, Jarkko, Marie, and Dick... !!!
Love,
Lizzy

Re: Chelsea Hotel Plaque
BEAUTIFUL! Very elegant, and at the same time showing our affection... Thanks so much, Dick (and, of course, Jarkko and Marie)!! Personally, I am really happy that I may be a - tiny - part of this great project of yours and thus to be able to give back at least a little of what our man has given us.
I really hope I'll be able to see it with you and Linda someday, thanks again for your kind offer to show it to me!
