I'm from Greenville Texas by way of Madison Wisconsin. I met and married a native Texas gal when I was in service and she insisted she wanted to come back home in 2007. We celebrated 42 years of marriage this past Spring. She had all the Wisconsin winter weather she could stand. She never could understand what it meant to be a 'Cheesehead' or a 'Badger'. It is tough on NFL weekend when the Cowboys and Packers are playing. She roots for one and I the other.
I became interested in pens after a field trip to the Parker Pen company…. long before any pen kits were available for the woodturner. Since 2007 I have concentrated mostly on turning and not just pens.
Now the main reason for joining IAP. I am recovering from recent surgery and doctor's orders won't allow me any shop time until after Labor Day at the earliest. I stumble across the IAP site on numerous searches on the internet and your library is the greatest for a pen turner. I see and find more ideas that I'm going to attempt after I get back in the shop.
I'm a member of the Hunt County Woodturners, the AAW and now with your kind permission also an IAP member.
