[Woodcarver] GOW, and Peter Benson

[sally nye]

Oh-h-h Joe, we really hate to miss the GOW this year.  And now with 
Peter's talk on the Coat of Arms it's like rubbing salt in an open 
wound.  I would LOVE to hear Peter's talk.  He is so entertaining and 
knowledgeable as well.  Can I talk you into setting up a camcorder and 
taping his presentation?  I'd be happy to pay for a tape.  Maybe you 
could sell them as a fund raiser (with Peter's consent of course).

Tell everyone hello for us.

For all attending the GOW,  I cannot recommend an evening or a class 
with Peter Benson highly enough!  Peter is a regular visitor to the 
Mystic Carvers Retreat each year in October.  I have taken several 
classes with Peter and found each to be an wonderful learning 
experience.  His sense of humor and ability to respond to each and 
every carver at the proper level of expertise needed is wonderful. You 
will have to translate from British English to American English as he 
goes along, but you only need to stop him for clarification and he will 
be happy to oblige.

Peter has a wonderful sense of humor that is as sharp as his carving 
tools.  Be prepared for a fun time with Peter during the week at GOW, 
he will be a great addition to the Gathering!
