[Woodcarver] GOW stuff

Wed Sep 8 10:17:31 EDT 2004

Hey lil' Joe,

Serious???   Me???  I don't think so!

How's this .... we will have the contest, I will judge the winners and 
award the gift certificates, then they can go up for auction!  That way, 
everyone wins!

And we'll all do that with our tongues in our cheeks.  LOL!

Best of luck at the Sandwich Fair.  It that going to put you an additional 
two years behind on your mantles?  :o)

Hi Big Dog,

Anything and anyway you want to do the whittling contest is fine with me.
Just so we don't get serious about it. It's a tongue-in-cheek event. I 
don't
want to scare anyone away.

I'm packing for the Sandwich Fair and will be out until next Monday. See 
you
all than.
