[Woodcarver] Pastor Paul McCain

[Sandy Holder]

Thanks Lynn for the information about Pastor Paul McCain. We had met him a 
number of times when he and his wife could attend the Wood Carvers Roundup 
here in Michigan. They are both wonderful people. We are sorry to hear of 
his passing, I knew he was having serious health problems and his family 
will be in our prayers.  He kept track of the show and event listings for 
Carving Magazine.
