A quick note here to publicly thank Tom Kirman. In the last Rodmaker mag. Tom put a blurb in about my stuff not getting to the show and mentioning how to get a peek at them. I had no idea he was going to do that. When I showed my wife she said "he's a stand up guy"!! I have to agree. I have already contacted Tom directly to thank him, just wanted to let the rest of you know the sort of individual we're all benefitting from on this site, the magizine, show, etc, etc, etc.

Ray,
I agree with you about Tom and your work is also top shelf. I think that the work that you do is just beautiful. Do you play chess? You could probably make the worlds most beautiful chess set.

Tom does a lot of things to help individuals that never gets publicized. I could add something of my own experience but was asked not to so I won't. But I did want to say that most of what he does for people is probably behind the scenes out of the public eye. This website and the magazine are only the tip of the iceberg from what I can tell.

There's a lot of class in the board here; my hat's off to Tom also. This board is a wonderful arena for many, many people. Ray, you're a pretty outstanding individual yourself, though!!

I have to agree with all of the above. Putter, your on that list too.

Have to wholeheartedly agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike
