Dale Helgerson in the news...

Well, it's about time you answered here!!! We sure do miss you and Linda. Yes, whatever did become of Neal? I attended his talk also when his book first came out. And one by Gary and a few others. "Will" is actually the nickname my husband gave me when we first started dating oh so many years ago. If I name some of the names other people call, I would probably be banned from here!! LOL. Anyway, good to see you are still among us.

We need an openhouse so that all of us can meet face to face sometime.

Yes Rolf, we do need Fox to hold another Open house! I do remember meeting you at the last one actually!!Also, I remember meeting Betty (Will8989 or whatever she calls herself), such a great, talented lady. And, Neal Moore.. any idea what ever become of him??

Wow, thanks you all for the great comments. It only figgers huh? That Shannon would have to go and post my ugly newspaper picture in here!!! She will pay dearly for that stunt!!!
Actually though, other than a couple odd things the reporter put in the article I was pretty pleased with it. I mean... in my "inner sanctum of my basement?" LOL, or my "beefy hands" ?? Really though, I think they did an awesome job on the article. i do wish I could have proofed the article before they published it, the twin tigers clock in the article is actually a design by Sue Mey, so any credit for that design must be directed to her. Funny thing, in the newspaper that clock looked like a mantle clock, it looked huge, when actually it is tiny, with a 1-7/16" clock insert! I am not sure how they chose the pictures they used, they took probably 100 photos of about 30 projects I showed them. Thanks again for the great comments (even you Betty!!!)

Well, I doubt Dale will see all the congrats in this thread as someone in Fox Chapel, who's initials are BobD, has Dale working so much he can't visit us much anymore!!! I met Dale & Linda at the last Fox Chapel Open house (hint hint - time for another one) and attended some seminars together. They are both fantastic people. So Dale, even though you probably won't see this - WELL DESERVED PRAISE!!

Good to see 788 in the news. Miss his pearls of wisdom around here--but understand he has other things going on.

For the rest of you, if you want to cut a medium to difficult piece, grab one of Dale's ornament designs and start cutting. They will drive you nuts at the saw, but there is a great feeling of accomplishment when you get done.
