[Woodcarver] Heads-up on shipping to Canada

[Ron or Bertie Wells]

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the heads-up.  I'm getting ready to send a shipment to Dennis 
Moor of Chipping Away, and I probably would have addressed it to "Pops." 
And what about a little later on when I would address a shipment to 
"Woodbutcher?"

Your friend,
