<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> <FONT size=5>Hi all,</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5> Ivan would be my 1st pick not only a great artist but his knowledge, promotion of woodcarving, and an inspiration and willingness to share his talent over the years puts him above all the artist I know. Neil Cox of Canada would be my 2nd so would be Fred Zanafidil, Fred Coglow, David Johnson, Vic Hood..........There is a list of 50 more that are worthy </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Chris Howard</FONT></DIV>
