[Woodcarver] Re:Dust Mask

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Ron,

It is truly a pleasure to share the List with someone of your talent and 
experience. I know how hard it has been to make a living off of the carving 
business. You've got to know what your doing to have been successful at it 
for that long.

I've notice another downward turn in the economy in 2005. I'm re-thinking 
some of my business plan for next year. Sometime maybe we should have a chat 
to exchange some ideas about marketing? I think the market around Chicago 
had gotten saturated with Home Shows because there are a bunch and the 
attendence has dropped. Besides Home Shows I need to develop another 
marketing plan for next year.
