> I would like to warn anyone who is thinking of going

>

> 1.  Joe Dillet, Bob Mau and Sandie Roosa are really as

> nice as they seem.  They could come to Minnesota and

> fit in real swell---youbetcha!

>

> 2.  I brought five days of food and didn't open the

> ice chest 'cept for a beer or three.  If you're a new

> comer expect to be well fed on just a few bucks a

> day---don't waste the ice on solid food.

>

> 3.  Chicago is east of Samanauk and if the winds from

> the west, Samanauk is the "Windy City" first.

>

> 4.  Be prepared to learn.  The instructors really do

> take the time to teach and each one gave me something

> to make me a better carver.

>

> 5.  Be prepared for fun.

>

> To Joe, Sandie, Bob, the instructors and participants,

> I wish extend my heartfelt thanks for such a great

> time.

>

> See you next year!!
