I received this from Lynette of gildedserpent.com

Bravo Sausan,

I was so pleased to see the article on Madame Nakish! As one of her first students, I want to applaud her teaching ability, her wise words of counsel and her loving compassion in launching my own career. A few years ago my producer and I did a long interview with her on video at which my youngest daughter was present. Nakish used to dance around her studio with Sarah (my daughter) on her hip and Sarah would laugh and clap her hands. It was an honor to hear Sarah's comments and see the awe and respect in her eyes at meeting this wonderful woman. Everything Nakish touches becomes beautiful...she is a true ARTIST. I am proud to see her receiving the honor she deserves. I agree, we need to honor those who paved the way for us. There is true gold there!
