The other day I was pleasantly surprised because I opened a package which contained a hat which I had left with my webmaster Steve Hurst and he had returned same to me but also inside the box I found a package all wrapped up which said happy birthday.
This surprised me because Steve had given me a bottle of Jack Daniels to me at the ConVENTion for my birthday. My birthday is July 20th so it was right after ConVENTion. I certainly was happy with that gift but it was consumed at the ConVENTion when I brought it into the hospitality room to share with everyone.
Back to my present…..Steve had contracted with Donald Woodford to create a wonderful scroll work sign which says” VENTRILOQUIST CENTRAL” The sign is scrolled out of quarter saw oak and is simply beautiful. I guess all the members of the Florida gang knew this was being done and not a one spilled the beans.
Steve actually got Donald to make two of them….one for himself and one for me. Smart move Steve as this is terrific.
I would like to also say if any of you out there don’t know about Donald’s great scroll saw work you have to check him out at:
Here are some shots of Steve and me with our new signs.
