<html><P>Matt, I went to the photo album from the GPO at the Dilletts. I knew Terry only from the woodcarvers list and from some emails we had traded some time ago. I think he was a good man and a dedicated carver. He will be missed by many and his legacy will stand the test of time.</P>
<P>When I went to the GPO site the first picture was of a friend of mine who has also passed away. We first met in Evart during the second year of the Woodcarvers Roundup. My wife and I camped beside him that year. I remember that he was in a tent and we were sleeping in the back of my Suburban on an air mattress that kept leaking air. It was miserable, it was raining and it was COLD. But this guy beside us was really helpful to us and his name was Bob Gallandt. Since then Bob and I had become friends- he had taken several classes from me in Evart and Cadillac. He was always reminding me of safety issues with carving. Bob has passed on, but I think of him often especially when I look at his fish decoys in my carvings collection. We traded decoys for three years. Bob made my stay in Evart tolerable as did others there including Bob and Sandy Holder, Jim and Virginia Huffman, and Ed and Margaret Joslin. Ed and his wife offered Winnie and me housing for a few days. I miss Bob who passed away a couple of years ago after his heroic struggle with cancer as I will miss Jim Huffman who died this winter. Friends like these have helped me so much in my development as a carver and as an instructor of carving that I can only hope to pass on their legacy by encouraging others to try this wonderful and creative endeavor and to tell their stories whenever I can.</P>
<P>I hope to retire after next school year and be able to devote myself even more to traveling and teaching carving classes and to attend as many caving seminars as I can. I look forward to coming to the GOW in Illinois and the Chipping Away program as well. </P>
<P>God be with all those who have passed on and also with those of us who cherish their memories and try to pass on their legacies.</P>
