Excellent idea Sandie.  Someone asked me recently whether I thought Joe
would ever resurrect the GOW.  I told him that probably wouldn't happen,
then he said it would be nice just to get together.

 

It would work best if Joe, Bob, you and all the other organizers didn't have
any work involved, just come and have fun.  No schedule, no classes, no
meals, no nuttin'!  Just a bunch of ol' friends coming together to catch up
on each others' lives, tell stories and whittle a little.

 

Let us know when and where!

I'm thinking that Ol' Don's working on getting another year's worth of
patterns and articles finished to open up time for the Sandie and Ol' Don
travels.

 

 

How on earth did you guess that? Don usually gets the Chip Chats patterns
done before Dayton. Thanks to the shingles pain, that didn't happen. But he
finished the last of them this afternoon. Now he's going to work on the ones
for WOM. Don finished his 3 commissioned caricatures just before Dayton and
mailed them off to a happy recipient. Then he finished carvings of his
grandson and his new bride and sent them off with family just before
Thanksgiving.

 

I've been working on the ornaments for my grandkids. Tried something
ambitious last spring. Gave up and went for an easy Santa this fall. Will
try the more ambitious ones for next year.

 

We've been putting the RV away for the winter. Always a sad time when we do
that. Have started thinking about next year's travel schedule but have not
put anything in stone yet. Got more trips thought of than there are weeks in
the summer.

 

Been thinking about talking to Joe and Bob about a GOW reunion. A reunion
with no classes, no instructors, no organization - just set a meeting place
and time and see what happens.  Thought about a large campground somewhere
in the vicinity of northern Illinois that would have a pavillion and let
everyone make their own reservations. Maybe York???

 

Any thoughts out there???????
