AAW-Acer-Maple Medly Showcase

[Keith Burns]

I hesitate to post this here but I received a letter from the AAW stating that this piece was accepted into the Juried Acer-Maple Medley Showcase which will premier at the upcoming national symposium in Hartford. There were 180 pieces submitted and 33 chosen. I am still in shock and still find it hard to beleive that it was picked out of all the wonderful work submitted. If you look on the aaw site you can look at all of the entries.

Keith I did see them at the AAW site as I am a member. I don't see why you should be shocked with that beautiful piece. Congratulations Keith. It is well deserved. I have always admired your work.

[Steve Schlumpf]

When I first seen this piece on another site, I looked at it and said that's Keith, not knowing right off who had made it. I have learned to recognize your work and really appreciate it. It's about time you have been awarded for your efforts.
