**********

I'm self-taught up to about 3-years ago when I started taking classes from
Ivan Whillock. My fourth or fifth class will be with Ivan the week of July
19th. Every class with him seems to take my art to a whole new level. I'm
really looking forward to the one in July.

I started carving as a young boy and now I am 60-years old. I started my
carving business in 1970. It has been a life-long struggle to get my hands
to do what my mind sees.
