[Woodcarver] Crazy Carver

[Fran Hill]

Wow!  I looked on your website and found the sacred cod that you said was 2
feet in length.  That was really impressive, but 5 feet??????  and 50
pounds?  Wow, I think I might have to agree.....that might qualify you as a
crazy carver!  But you're right, it will outlive all of us.  I think that's
fantastic!  What an accomplishment.
I'm sorry about your lack of hamburgers on the 4th....And I do have to note,
that while I was seeing replies to your message with the "crazy carver"
subject title, I personally just received this email for the first time a
few minutes ago.  Wonder why?

There seem to be lots of little cyberspace gremlins interfering with my
computer these days.

Anyway, I would love to see the finished piece someday.
