Hi Joe.  LOL, Glad we flushed you out.  Thanks for clearing up the 
origin of the chip carving...a "tortilla" chip.  I concur, Koz is a 
special one.

Sally,
  You got it pretty close there. I didn't actually cut or carve 
anything.  Sunday night when Jack was ribbing Koz about 'chip carving' 
not being real carving, I got the bright idea to take it a step 
forward.  You know, not being a carver, I have to do something to 
occupy my time!  We had a refreshment table set up which included a 
large bowl of Tortilla 'chips'.  I grabbed one of the largest ones, and 
made my way to Nick, where I enquired as to if this was an example of 
HIS Chip carvings.
  Well the joke sure got a life of it's own after that and wound up 
being the laugh of the NEWR.  I want to tip my hat to Nick (Koz) for 
taking this in the good spirit that it was intended.

Hi Terry,

The person who could really give you the skinny on this is Joe Dunn. 
You know Debbie's husband, Joe.  He is always working behind the scenes
selling raffle tickets and making sure everything is running smoothly
while Debbie is either taking or teaching a class.

Joe made a "chip carving" for Nick Sciortino, AKA Koz.  Joe took a
potato chip and cut...Oops, "carved" a triangle in the center of it. 
He presented it to Nick as a bonafide chip carving.  From there it took
on a life of its own.

Nick's table is right next to David and me so I saw the "original" chip
carving but didn't see any others.  Someone else will have tell you
  "the rest of the story."

Hope this takes the edge off.
Sally
