September 3, 2005 - "Hello Kim, You must be so proud of your girls. We really enjoyed their performance last night especially Lindsay's and we wanted to let her know but the email keeps bouncing back so I thought I would try yours. They are both so talented you are doing a wonderful thing supporting them in this. I think they could have good careers ahead of them.
Hello Lindsay, My husband and I just saw you and your sister in "Annie" last night at the Golden Gate Theatre in San Francisco. We both thoroughly enjoyed the show, especially your performance as Molly. All the performers were wonderful but your performance captured us both. We hope you both enjoy your roles in this production of "Annie," this will surely be a special time in your young lives. Hopefully these roles will lead to bigger and better things for you and your sister Molly. I think you especially, have the potential to have quite a career ahead of you. I hope you enjoy your time in San Francisco, it is a wonderful city to visit. Hopefully you will get to see some of it and the surrounding area during your time here."

I want to hear about all your experiences so I will follow you on your web site. I will hope to hear how Christopher is doing - I've told Barb and she will check with Mike tonight to see if there is anything that she can do. Molly and Lindsey truly have a God given talent and it's wonderful to see how much they enjoy performing. I look forward to seeing them again - maybe in New York. God bless."
Brian Hall & family from Olympia, WA:

I was surprised that two of the orphans came from your family. I went through your website and watched the video about how Lindsay and Molly were selected. Fantastic! I just wanted to say we really enjoyed the show and I hope all is going well with the tour. You have two great girls and I hope they have a great career in the future. Please tell Molly and Lindsay that we really enjoyed their performance."

Mindi Chouinard from Tacoma, WA:
August 27, 2005 - "Hi Molly and Lindsay, I just got home from your last matinee performance in Seattle. What great little stars you both are. I have seen Annie several times and this was by far my favorite production. Lindsay, you really stole the show and Molly, you were just the cutest Duffy ever! You girls are clearly blessed with talent that surpasses your young years. Enjoy the year ahead and thanks for a great show! p.s. Mom and Dad, your must be very proud!"
Sue Kelley from Bellingham, WA (North of Seattle):
August 26, 2005 - "I just saw Molly and Lindsay perfrom at the Paramount tonight! They are both INCREDIBLY gifted, and I am glad that God has given the talent to young ladies, such as yourselves, who will praise Him in the end for the gifted talent you have received! I can tell that the both of you are in love with the stage, and it is absolutely beautiful to watch you dive into the character, and become the role you are playing. You are both at such young ages, already possessing this incredible ability to perform - I do see a bright future for you both in the entertainment business. Just keep in mind to not lose sight of what is important, and that is God above, who loves you more than you can imagine. Becoming famous and well known has its advantages, especially with finances, but just remember to enjoy the gift God has given you, and spend time being a kid :).. I am so grateful that I was able to see the two of you this evening, and I will keep you in my prayers. If you have a mailing list, I would love to be on it. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face. Your hard work is DEFINITELY paying off!"

August 21, 2005 - "I was at the Paramount today with my wife and 13 year-old daughter. My sister just called and I told her I saw a wonderful rendition of "Annie" when she screamed in delight. You see, my sister is Lynn Friedman and my nephew is Max who you know from St. Louis (we grew up in Clayton). Lynn called to tell me Max was picked for "Joseph" which will be at the Fox next month. When we realized I saw your daughters today she was quite impressed. I am a physician at the U. of Washington, so if any Ryans need any medical help feel free to call while you are here. Thanks for sharing your talented family with all of us natives. We REALLY enjoyed the show today."

This was our 3rd or 4th time seeing Annie and we thought it was the best. Hope the rest of your tour goes as well. We also read how much you are enjoying Seattle. This is the best place in the world to live when the weather is like this."

Katherine Panelle from Atlanta, GA:
July 4, 2005 - "Hey girls! My name is Katie, and I found your site accidentally. You see, I played Annie about 8 years ago in the Atlanta area. When I heard it was coming to the Fox, I decided to see when it was playing. A few steps later, I was on your site. I just wanted to wish you two luck on tour and tell you to have the time of your life. God has blessed you two with wonderful gifts and the joy you get from performing is just another one of His gifts. Anyways, I just felt obligated to drop you a line to tell you break a leg. Oh, and when you're performing at the Fox, look up at the ceiling-it's filled with stars! God bless!"
