Hello fellow AAW members:

I really appreciate all the people that came by my booth at the AAW in Hartford. Thank you!!

I had a successful show. As expected, the wheel truing system was the star product in the booth. Many folks picked one up after enduring my lengthy explaination of its attributes.

As usual, the instant gallery was a very humbling experience. I can't believe how the art of woodturning continues to evolve!

The symposium provided yet another opportunity to visit with the many turners that I’ve come to know through attending this show for the past 10 years and through all the other venues that bring us together. I hope to run into many of you at before that annual sysmposium next year.

I hope that each of you had a good time and your travels were safe.


Sincerely,
Don Geiger
