Pierced Madrone on a Pedestal....

[Wally Dickerman]

Since this is my 19th birthday......Um, wait...right numbers, wrong order... 91st birthday, I decided to post a pic.

Madrone and ebony. 10 inches tall. C and C welcome.

I get my once a year chocolate cake tonight. Forget the candles. Might burn the house down with 91 of 'em.

I do remember my 19th birthday. I was living in Alaska and working on a crab fishing boat. That was a loong time ago.

Dang. In 1940 Alaska was still pretty wild and wooly. 'Specially on a crab boat...

And that's a really nice pedestal thing-a-ma-bob.... I like it, whatever it is... :D

Happy birthday Wally!
