Dan, if you have any blanks left, we could use them at the Hunt County Fair. We will take a box or 2 if you have them. Let me know how you want paid.
Thanks.

Oops! I just noticed the date on Jerry's message. I should have been congratulating Paul Wood in NJ. Does Pen State ship the pens for you, Paul? That is a great way to teach your woodworking...

Hi Jerry,

Welcome back! It's been a while since I've read one from you. Your kids sound great! Isn't the enthusiasm of kids wonderful? And yours has been great since the beginning of the FP...

I would like to report that Craig's TAT Saturday was a great one! There were 16 lathes set up for over 30 turners. Wood World employees were most gracious to help with anything we asked for. They...

Jackie, today I mailed 443 Freedom Pens to you. They are in 2 boxes. They are the final results from our Hunt County Woodturners TAT at the Fair last month. Considering the weather...

Hi Phil,

Just wondering if your TAT in Denton was successful. We couldn't make it because of a prior responsibility, but we thought about you. Hope everything went well.

Woodcraft in Dallas (Addison,actually) will also have a TAT on Veterans' Day. Many of the Hunt County Woodturners will be there. Y'all come help us turn to support a great cause if you live in the...

We think we have all the pens turned in from the Fair TAT. We have exactly 500 pens to mail you Monday, Jackie! We have a couple members on vacation who may have a few, but for now it's 500.

Keith, thanks for posting this beautiful tribute to the penturners. I have printed it for the Hunt County Woodturners' scrapbook, but first I will take it to our next meeting (Christmas party) to...

Bruce, why should you be sorry? You turned a lot of pens there, and just think how many blessings will go with those 248 pens when they get to their final destination! Great job!!!

We can't say...

Thanks, Keith. That really works! I'm not very computer literate; now that I've retired, the computer world has moved to fast forward. I'm glad to know how to do a PM or e-mail from the forum.

I want to let y'all know that the Hunt...

Alan, I can tell you where we got our posters, both big and small, like the one in Earl's display. Arvin Brown made them and sent them to us in April, 2004 for only the cost of the postage. He sent...

We agree with what Craig said. We have been to quite a few Turnathons in the past 1.5 years, and we agree that this one ranks right up there with the best.

We met lots of nice people. There...
