"Dear Paula--
Sun Valley went great!  We got a standing ovation.  Thanks for the
booking.  I must say, Paula, I was dubious about a 'Local Agent' but
what little we worked together I was impressed with your
professionalism and ethics.  I'm sorry you had to leave...You are
missed..."

    --Rand & Betty Hillman
"I am a performing musician and professor of music who has worked
with Paula Smith for the last several years.  Mrs. Smith has
provided much work for my group "Chapter 3" and I, and has
handled our business affairs with professionalism while keeping an
easy and friendly atmosphere.  Aurora Entertainment, her
entertainment business, is the only establishment of its sort that I
have ever had an on-going and lucrative relationship.  Most booking
establishments are notorious for providing little service to the
musicians while "dealing" with the musician's employers for higher
commissions.

In our professional relationship, Paula Smith has always proved to
be honest, hard-working and easy to work with.  I am sorry that our
business relationship is over because it is doubtful that I will ever be
able to find someone with both her honesty and diligence to take her
place."

--Joseph A. Baldassarre, BME, MA, DMA, Assistant Professor of Music
History and Fretted Strings Boise State University, Boise, ID
"Dear Paula,
It's been nice working with you these past years, and
we wish the best for you and your family in your new California
Adventure.   ...Until our paths cross again...  Sincerely, Kris &
George Gress"

--Kris & Songbook  (Received with commission payment after I closed
the business.)
"I have known Paula and dealt with her on a business level for approximately 2-3 years.  In this time I have found her to be
hard working, ethical, creative, helpful, quick-witted and basically one of the finest persons I have ever had the opportunity
to work with.  Paula was always dependable and very professional in her business matters.  I have no doubt in my mind that
Paula will achieve a great deal in her future endeavors and would make anyone an excellent employee."

--Randy L. Robinson, Wine & Catering Director, D'Alessandro's Foods
"So glad to hear from you and to know that you are settled in
California.  I really miss you as I need you here to help me with
Terri's wedding....Once again, I do miss you and when you get back
to Boise I will expect you to come visit me."

--Jessie Sims, Idaho First National Bank, Boise, ID
"I have been associated with
Paula Smith in two capacities,
both as her agent when she
worked with a musical duo
and as a colleague when she
opened her agency in Boise.  
In both situations, I have been
impressed with her forthright
manner and excellent
business sense.  In a
profession not known for
square dealings, Paula's
integrity, drive and foresight
made her a success both as a
musician and as an agent."

--Kent W. Lance, The Lance
Agency
"Please consider the
following a personal
reference for Paula Smith.  I
have had the pleasure of
working with her on two of
our retail communities
"Wedding Party" shows in
1983 and 1984.  She has
always exhibited good skills
in the areas of administration
and planning.  (Group
treasurer 1984).  Paula has
also given our retail group
some important creative
merchandising ideas.  Her
scheduling and
follow-through tasks were
always carried out in a most
professional way.  Given her
warm personality, Paula
works very well with people
in a variety of situations..."

"Having been associated with Paula Smith
through our Local 537 of the American Federation
of Musicians of which Paula was a board member
may I state that she is a person of high integrity,
creative, hard working and with a dynamic, driving
personality.  She has had her own business, a
booking agency, in Boise, which was a very
successful venture and all the entertainers who
were booked by Paula speak highly of her talents
and acumen in the business world.  I would like to
say that the person or persons (or businesses) that
obtain this young womans talents would be getting
the best of all her special talents."

--Gail Green, Secretary, Local 537, (Musicians
Protective Association, A.F. of M.) Boise, ID
"I am glad to state that I have been privileged to
know Paula Smith since 1978 when she was
accepted into membership of Local 537 of the
American Federation of Musicians.  I have been
able to observe that she is diligent in striving for
perfection in any project she undertakes.  She is a
self-starter and certainly not lacking in ambition.  
Her creativity has been nothing short of amazing.  
She has a "follow through" capacity that is not
common to the ordinary person.  She is certainly
the type of person I would welcome on my staff,
should she become available.  Her habits and her
lifestyle are above reproach.  She is dependable.  
In my honest opinion, she would be a definite
asset to anyone utilizing her services"

--James C Johnson, President, Local 537 A.F. of M.,
