Dear Bonnie -
Picture me blushing. Thanks for the kind words. I am really looking
forward to the workshop in Youray.
That's the only way I'm going to learn to pronounce it properly.

It will be good to see you at NCECA.
- Vince

Hi Bonnie,
I was just looking over Vince's info on the workshop, including this.

"clay cutting and slicing jigs for each participant,"

Just for my own information, what is he referring to?
I got my hotel reservations with Dale.
I'm really looking forward to this. How does it look for participants?
I know you said it would be limited to seven - how many do you have
to have to make it go?
Thanks, Lou
