    The past month flown by in record time beginning with the Engravers
    Guild show and seminars in Reno at the end of January, then Tucson
    for a week, the n Nebraska for a week, and finally two back to back
    workshops - I finally get a day to myself. (Before another workshop
    starts tomorrow.) 

    Tucson was much, much better for me this year, I was 30 pounds
    heavier and I had no problem staying on my feet all day every day. I
    was lucky enough to b e sharing the week with five pretty incredible
    women. Thank you Molly, Marta, Glenda, Rachel, and Leanna. 

    Went first to Phoenix, checking out the new Metal's Edge Studio, got
    a tour of the Molina's store and workshop from Karl Linger - and a
    look at some rea l heavyweight diamonds. Then we passed a couple of
    hours with Michael Sturlin and his wife Praparat at his studio. You
    really have to hold his work in your hands to fully appreciate what
    he does. 

    Met some new people at the Orchid dinner, as well some that I've come
    know pretty well over the past couple of years. I finally connected
    up with the B onny Doon group, and went to their dinner also. I
    monopolized Anne Hollerbach (or was it the other way 'round?), and
    got invited to come watch her at work - teaching at Rio's Catalog In
    Motion. Any of you who know her or have been lu cky enough to take one
    of her workshops know what I mean and everyone e lse who has ANY use
    for a hydraulic press in their workshop should try get their
    introduction from her! Lee Marshall ain't half bad at it either -
    but I thin k he'll agree Anne's got something special goin' for her! 

    Having attended more than a few of the Tucson shows by now, I know
    it is futile to even think about trying to see it all. It cannot be
    physically don e anymore. I limit myself to really seeing a half dozen
    or so of what I believ e to be the most important shows and I take my
    time at those. 

    Learn to take a notebook, with insert pages for business cards - and
    WRITE O N THE BACKS OF THE CARDS as well as taking notes - otherwise
    you will never remember who had what when you get home! I couldn't
    buy much this year, beca use I haven't been working for the past 16
    months, but I do know where to get the stuff when I have an income
    once again. 

    I've got a ton of notes to go though yet, and I have yet to write a
    lot of the people I met - so if you are one of those who expected to
    hear from me - you will...
