[Woodcarver] Re: Pictou Man.

[Merrilee Johnson]

Good Evening Clive,
Now I know what a Pictou Man is.  It seems like I remember seeing it on 
several people's subject lines before and now I know what it is.  Thanks, 
also for the history and geography lesson!  I went to Keith's site - wow is 
about all I can say!  The big log with the face is fantastic!  I think I 
need to take a trip there.  Maybe next year????
Later,
Merrilee
