# A Tip of the Hat
Editor:
On behalf of my employees and myself, we wish to thank you for the privilege of being honored on the front cover of Masonry (September/October, 1984) by printing the "Excellence In Masonry" photo of the Miller Brewing Company interior. This honor certainly is not a common occurrence, but one we will remember and prize for a lifetime.
Masonry is a fine publication and very well done. It is an honor to the masonry industry. You certainly can be very proud of your accomplishment.

# Energy Efficient Home
Editor:
I thank you sincerely for having arranged to have the masonry residential drawings ("All-Masonry, Energy-Efficient Home Wins Minnesota Design Competition," Masonry, July/August, 1984) forwarded to me. I found them extremely interesting.
Perhaps we will see more of these kinds of structures built in Ontario as they offer an ingredient that is not available in conventional types of construction.
