Dear Mr. Knappett:

I didn't want too much time to pass before expressing my sincere appreciation, on behalf of Ms. Jacquelynn Ellis, Public Relations Office and Ms. Vickie Coste, Communications Branch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, and the Ontario organizers for your contributions to the success of the recent visit by Her Majesty The Queen and HisRoyal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh.

Your donation of the wonderful variety of maple syrup products enabled us to give our visitors from the Royal Household and representatives of the federal government a real flavour of Ontario
hospitality and sample of the quality of life in our province. We receive numerous thanks for the warm welcome extended by Ontario, and your contribution added greatly to the effectiveness of our greeting.

Your generosity helped us deliver the message that Ontario is a great place to live and visit.

Most sincerely,

George Hutchison
1997 Ontario Royal Visit Coordinator (acting)
