[Woodcarver] Re:Dust Mask

[Daniel Heine]

Joe,

My son and I belong to the local woodworking club, and we had a table in 
October at the Woodworking show in Chicago. I could not beleive the lack of 
vendors and people there. The first time I went, about five years ago, you 
could hardly walk down the aisles. This year, we could throw a bowling ball 
down an aisle, and not hit anyone. I think this economy is a lot worse that 
our government would like us to beleive.

Thanks,
Dan Heine
