[Woodcarver] What carving gift is on your list?

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Matt,

One nice thing about carving for a long time is I've got all the tools I 
need plus more.

For Christmas I would like a few more disabled veterans to teach. I am 
staying in touch with Camp Pendleton [Wounded Warriors West], and 2 of the 
students I had in class there who continue to carve. Sharon and I are hoping 
to do it again in the first half of next year. We are just waiting to hear 
from them. I've been trying to get something going in Washington DC with 
Wounded Warriors East. So far I haven't got a contact (staff member to 
Wounded Warrior East) to help organize it. I was lucky enough to find a 
disabled veteran, from the Gulf War, who's interested in learning to carve. 
He lives close enough to my shop and has been coming for regular classes. We 
are also contacting L. Tammy Duckworth, Director of Veterans Affairs here in 
Illinois, to see if we can get more organized.
