[Woodcarver] Not a "Master Carver?"

[Paul B McCain]

Hi Joe and Bill and Ivan,

Thanks for the insightful discussion re: "Master Carver".  I had the
opportunity to be in two classed with George Keilheofer of Frankenmuth,
Michigan.  George was a Master Carver who completed all of the early
training that Joe described.  His works are nothing short of excellent
and beautiful.

Using those two adjectives to describe what I consider to be a Master
Carver, I would have to easy that the works that I have seen in pictures
of you, Bill and you, Ivan and the works that I have been privileged to
see of yours, Joe would qualify all of you for that designation.  

I look forward to seeing Joe again in Evart and hope someday to see you
other two artists.  

I, personally, am working toward becoming a Master Beginner Carver.  That
may very well be my highest attainment and the rate I am going.

God's blessings to all.  Paul
