[Woodcarver] RoundUp and other digressions

[Charlie Briggs]

Hi Dan,
I just forwarded your e-mail to Floyd. I could not agree with you more. 
After attending two Roundups in PA. in the last two years I could not 
imagine not going again in the coming years. It was such a great time, with 
great people and camaraderie not to mention a learning experience as well.
