Turner Interview Poll

[Mark Cothren]

Are these getting old? I've sent out several requests and haven't received any back recently. So I'm curious is these have "run their course"... It's not a big deal to me, I just don't want to keep askin' and postin' if we've all had enough.

Yes or No?

[Henry C. Gernhardt, III]

I would post a pithy witticism, but I'm afraid my pith has been removed along with any vinegar which may have been in my system... :)

I really liked reading those I saw. Keep it up, I say!

[Steve Clardy]

Sure. I read em when time permits

[Andy Hoyt]

[Barry Stratton]

I love `em! Don't forget to add the "new" guy from Peru with the warehouse/disco of blanks and incredible turnings!!!!!!!

[Dennis Peacock]

Keep it up.....keep'em coming......that's how we learn more about each other. :D

[Vaughn McMillan]

I second Barry's call to add Jim King from Peru to the list. I'd imagine his story's a bit different compared to most. ;)

[Stu Ablett in Tokyo Japan]

I read them, and find all kinds of stuff that fill out the people who populate this place, I very much enjoy them.

[Mark Cothren]

Awrighty then guys... start watchin' your PM inbox and/or e-mail soon. I've been asked to only post about 2 at a time and leave 'em up for a week or so... so be patient.

I've got a list about 4 pages long of names, so I'll eventually get around to everybody. If you are eager to do one, just shoot me a PM and let me know.

Thanks,
Mark

[Jeff Singleton]

I think the interviews are great. I would not stop them. No other site has this.

Happy Splinters,:)

Hey Folks. Special Announcement time.

During a conversation I had with Mark Cothren yesterday he asked if I'd be willing to take over the duties as the interview arranger guy. He's had some issues come up lately that are occupying enough of his time such that he felt he needed to lighten his load. After getting him to promise to send me three 22" bowls blanks per month for the next ten years I agreed.

So. Fair Warning!

All of you who have yet to be subjected to this entertaining form of embarrassment have just made the list of potential targets. And that goes for certain non spinners too (paging Karl Laustrop - please pick up the white courtesy phone) who continue to resist the Abyss.

Mark also suggested that I modify the question and answer nature of what he was doing, and I think I'll do that - although right now, I'm not sure how. If any of you have suggestions about what kind of features or content you'd like to see (or don't want to see) shoot me a PM and I'll try to incorporate them.

Thanks, Andy

[Glenn Clabo]

It's the next best thing to meeting someone face to face...although I'm still trying to recover from a certain visit in "the great state of Maine".

[Ed Breen]

Please keep them coming. In this world we live in I find great enjoyment in reading about folks I listen or talk to electronically every day. Its a great whirlpool that we prctice in!!
