just a note to let folks know that donovan palmquist
is now a member of our `family`.
donovan and colleen riley of our hay creek, dock
six gang were married a few months ago.

we are very happy for both of them. a real team.

donovan is a superb kiln builder with license for most
states. it is almost impossible to find a quality licensed
builder that inspectors will work with. he is a gem of a
fellow. his work and kilns speak for themselves.
he does not need me to speak for him.

of course, this is my opinion, never humble, and always
mine.

No idea who these people are, except fortunate enough to have Mel as a
personal friend.

May all blessings attend their married life, in peace, in harmony--and under
Mel's watchful eye!

Mel:
I fully endorse your comments about Donovan Palmquist; he build a downdraft
kiln for me, at my studio, about three years ago, lived in my home for most
of the week that covered the job, I played gopher for him, and we were able
to fire the kiln successfully before he left.
I have since fired it more than 20 times, continue to learn how to "guide" it
and would not hesitate to recommend Donovan to anyone as a fine person and a
great kiln designer/builder.
