     We would like to express our gratitude to ATFA Appraisals for their diverse range of professional skills and abilities in helping us manage the art and photography collection of our deceased brother, Anthony Bonair.  Donna taught us so much about the various markets that the works could be sold, and she identified some of the key pieces that would bring the most value.  Her office photographed and cataloged the works with great detail and efficiency.  She was confident, knowledgeable, patient, and diligent in all our dealings with her.  We are fortunate to have her as part of our team in managing the collection.  We highly recommend ATFA Appraisals' services.  With warm regards and thanks.
