That's wonderful! But we all know Steve to be an artist as well as a gracious gentleman and an inspiration to many, myself included. He may be i good company over there on Woodturners America but so are they. I hope to meet Steve one day so I can tell him in person how much I have admired his work and appreciated his encouragement.

Dick and John K...........I guess I should have put the :rolleyes: symbol for sarcasm, because I certainly was ...................Steve is certainly famous in the wood turning world at least, so no news here! :p

Famous, nice, helpful, and as John said "an all around nice guy!" I could not agree more! :)

[Ken Fitzgerald]

It just dawned on me....those last photos we saw of Steve wearing a baseball cap might be the last....

I see a beret in his future.:rolleyes: What do you think?:confused::D

[Tim Thiebaut]

Wow Steve Congrats! I am very happy for you, they couldnt have picked a better person to join them!

[Roger Chandler]

I see a beret in his future.:rolleyes: What do you think?:confused::D

Ken,

The temptation might be there, and he may dawn a beret once in a while, but I think Steve has his feet firmly planted on the ground, and he does not strike me as one who is pretentious in any way.........I think we are safe that he will remember his humble roots, although a meet and greet with a beret, a turtleneck sweater and a glass of wine may be in his future!;):D

[Sid Matheny]

Congratulations Steve and I am not surprised.
