New Year Jean and thanks for the kind words. Rev Paul is missed by many of us.
During the holidays and challenging times I often think of him. I keep in touch
with Lynn Diel and he has expressed the same feelings. Paul had carving talent
but like most of us, we are our own worse critics and always striving and
sometimes struggling to improve our skills.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

stop by any time you can at an event or anytime in the Detroit or Harrison (cottage)
area.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#C00000'>Thank
you for the lovely Christmas card with pictures of your family and new
grandchild. My dear Paul would be very happy for you! I appreciate
your continuing to remember me as well. I have even thought of attending
some of the wood carvers events just to see some of Paul's friends in this part
of his life. He truly wanted to learn to carve as well as all of you -
had all the tools and desire but lacked a really good teacher since George Keilhoffer (sp?)
was called home. May our Lord continue to bless your lovely family and
your business...and your carving! Jean A. McCain</span><span
