<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#4040FF'>Yesterday was our annual show
and so I brought along my short dowel display of the round robin carvings
from 1998-99. I do this every couple of years or
so. Yesterday, the round robin caused more interest in a
single item on the table than I have seen in awhile. I must have
told the story of those segments 100 times during the day. (Do you
think that meant the rest of my table was boring???) I sure hope
not. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#4040FF'>Anyway just wanted to say that
reliving the nerves, excitement and just plain fun that those segments
brought to me was a very cool thing. Thanks to Len Dillon,
Bill Russell and Loren Woodward for some history that still brings smiles to
many and great memories to me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#4040FF'>For those who may not
know....The Round Robin Segments were regular (typical) cane segments divided
into four areas using the corners. A theme is decided,
we did Santas first, I think. so each of the carvers (4)
carves a Santa on one corner of the segment and then mails it off to the second
person on the list, shortly in the mail, carver number one receives
a segment with a Santa already carved on the corner, at this time carver number
one carvers a Santa on the next available corner and mails it off to the second
person on the list. When the segment arrives with three Santas
completed on the segment, carver number one carves the last corner and that is
the segment carver number one gets to keep. So each carver ends up
carving 4 Santas on 4 different segments resulting in 4 completed segments one
for each participant. Not as confusing as I make it sound, I'm
sure, cause I got it figured out. Anyway we ended up doing
Santas, Native Americans, Pretty Women (Ha Ha Ha) and
Caraicature (sp?). So my dowel has 4 segments with 16
carvings...quite unique and fun to look at and certainly interesting to talk
about. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#4040FF'>Hope this hasn't been too
boring to the masses but wanted to tell those who may still be on the list that
they were stars of the show yesterday. A few took pictures so who
knows, a whole new round robin may start up somewhere out there....I can
almost promise it will be fun.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
