<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=094161322-01092009><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>I called a buddy of mine in Ottumwa. His name is Bill
Greenley. He and his wife run a store called O' Town Books. Their
phone number is (641)-682-0901.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=094161322-01092009><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>Bill has done a lot of carving over the years. Around
this time each year he cranks out about a 100 Santa figures that change each
year. He has collectors that look forward to his new creations every
year. Unfortunately this year they are going to be disappointed. He
had a 3rd operation on his carving arm and he's just now getting back into his
carving. He's been fooling around with carving some golf balls to work up
his strength again. He is usually in the bookstore carving away and taking
care of business. You can call him and figure a time for a visit if you
care to.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=094161322-01092009><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>He filled me in on something new to Ottumwa. He designed
a large carving of Chief Wapello that has been recently completed by a chain
sawyer from Vermont. It is displayed right next to the brand new
convention center on Market Street in Ottumwa down by the river. He said
it is really a sight to see. The detail is just
tremendous.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

I-O-Way! Give Bill a call ... he's a really nice guy.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
