My 15 minutes of woodturning fame

[JimB]

A couple months ago I was interviewed by the Rochester edition of 55 PLUS magazine about my woodturning hobby. The article is in the current edition. I can't get a link directly to the article to work but if you go to Headlines | 55 Plus Magazine, for Rochester's active adults you can click on the Current Edition on the top right side of the home page. The article is on pages 42 and 43.

There are several mis-quotes in the article so if you are wondering 'why did Jim say that?' The answer is I probably didn't say it.

I did mention both IAP and the local turning club but she only put the local club info in the article. Oh, and I would never refer to myself as a 'Woodworking Wizard' as the article does.

Hmmm ... let me guess.

You showed her your IAP avatar and she got hopelessly distracted?

Maybe that's why she picked those pictures for the article. She took other pics that I thought would have been much better... like one with the lathe.

Yeah, that was a bit painful to say I was being interviewed because I'm 'old'. But on the other hand, I play basketball twice a week where I am the oldest guy. The next oldest is 6 years younger than me and the ages go down into the twenties. I can (almost) keep up with all of them. I guess I'm not THAT old.

Just keep away from that hopscotch court .... if your avatar is any reference, it's a mean one!
