> Hi!  Thanks for taking the time to read this message.  We have in our 
> possession a wood carving of a medical doctor that has the name 
> Hovington on it ( we believe it to be L. Hovington- but the script 
> makes it difficult to tell for sure if it is an L or an A or possibly 
> even a T). The carving was given to my husband's father, Roger 
> Bissonnette, approximately 45 years ago we think, as a gift, and we 
> are curious about both the carving and the carver.  We have no other 
> information other than quite by accident coming across some text  from 
> the University of Ottawa on the internet, that says that speakers at 
> that university were given small wood carvings by Mr. L Hovington, a 
> master wood carver as rewards for their speaches.  We have tried all 
> avenues on the net to find more info and have come up with no 
> results.  I wonder, since you are in the business, if you would be 
> able to refer us to any kind of list of master wood carvers, or any 
> information that could lead to us finding information on this 
> carver/carving.  There is actually another carving in the family of a 
> golfer we believe is by the same carver if that is of any help -
