>> 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.

>> 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.

>> 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???
