Permission from Bob Ross INC to use image edit

Hello Carson,

Thank you for your interest in Bob Ross and the Joy of Painting; it's a
pleasure to hear from so many of his friends! I apologize for the amount of
time it has taken to respond.

Attached you'll find a photo to use with your Bob Ross wikipedia article.
Please include the following:

"(c) Bob Ross Inc.  Reprinted with permission"

Also, in reviewing your copy about Bob, I see two small errors to correct.
(1) Bob's death was a result of Lymphoma, and (2) instead of saying "PBS"
stations you should call them "public television" stations -- PBS is only
one subcategory in the entire public television system as a whole.

Hope this has been helpful, be sure to contact us if you need more (this
time I'll be more punctual!).

Happy Painting,

Joan Kowalski
Bob Ross Co.
