Dear Mr. Frutiger, Happy 80th Birthday and many many more. I have 4 woodcuts of of yours that I treasure dearly. They were restored and reprinted by by Linotype in 2002 in celebration of your 75th birthday. They are of the smallest things... twigs of a trees, pine needles, a piece of bamboo, and a bit of papyrus. They are so delicately beautiful - a joy to behold. I will treasure them always, as I know my heirs will also. With fond best wishes, Michael Carbone — Michael Carbone

Happy Birthday Mr Frutiger. I've just found out that my twin boys, Luca & Finaly share the same birthday as you. They are 1 today. We're having cupcakes with lions, tigers and elephants on them, we'll set one aside for you. (When I was at university we had our typefaces prescribed by our lecturer and I had to use Gill Sans for a year. The first time we got to use a typeface of our own choice, I made a book and I chose Fruitger.) — Sarah Newton, New Zealand
