[Woodcarver] box

[Bill Smith]

Hi ed:

I can understand where u are coming from being
disabled myself I have a condition called rsd from day
today I do not not which way its up but I keep busy
even on my bad days which can be different each day
and also can change from min to min.. I also feel as I
bounce around as well.. I do know that the Ward
brothers were also disabled.. Since I had gone to
their museum, that was the first time I had ever
really thought about gettin into carving meet some
nice people there they even called on the the people
that do demos there and told him that I was lookin to
learn some info since the people there did not know
much about carving and they also explain to the nice
gentleman that I had just been told that I had just
been told I had RSD..
