<DIV>Hi Loren,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope so because live is a party and we were made to live it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sharon and I are excited about going to the Congress this year. This is the
first year in over 10 years that we don't have a conflect with singing. Our
mission, besides having fun, is to begin purchasing carvings for our museum
(which will take about a year to open). How much fun is that??? Our vision
is an instructional museum educating people with good examples of all different
types of carvings. Sharon is the director and desides what goes into the museum.
The woodspirit you carved, into one of my chips, didn't make the cut so it will
remain in my shop as a wonderful memory of the class we took together at
Ivan's.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We'll be there from about 3 PM Friday to Sunday afternoon. Hope to see many
of you there.</DIV>
