[Woodcarver] The curative power of GOW

[Morgan Groves]

I have to say that Joe's Gathering of Woodworkers this year was a "miracle drug" for me.  I came home "loaded for b'ar," whereas for more than a year, I've just lacked the inspiration and interest to carve--really, just about since I came down with a serious illness in March, 2005.

But GOW is good for what ails ye.  The presence of all the good people and the brilliant instructors, the atmosphere of friendliness and fellowship, the superb but relaxed organization, and the willingness of so many talented people to guide the rest of us along the way--these are just some of the things that made it an exceptional experience.  If I get into naming names, I'll surely miss someone, so I'll save my comments for later on.  I hope to participate more on the woodcarver list, but I'm mostly lurked for several years.  But the fact is, I'd rather be making art than spending too much time in front of the screen.

So, to all who helped cure me at GOW, Thank You!
