I was in Ohio twice

[GerryR]

A very long time ago I was in a juried art fair in Peninsula, Ohio.  Very nice country around there and I really enjoyed it both years I did it.  It was held at a ski area in June or July, can't remember which.

I'm Gerry Rhoades.  I live in eastern Montana where the wind blows a lot, at least it does the last 3-4 years.  We're into our 9th year of drought.  I'm a native of western Montana where there's more mountains and more rainfall.  I am not a woodworker and that was a long-standing joke between Eagle and I.  He would start to explain something that only a woodworker would understand and I would have to remind him that I wasn't a woodworker.  He would then have to say the same thing so a non-woodworker could understand it.  I am just a pen maker.

Gerry is definitely a pen maker, but hardly "just" a pen maker.  For those of you who are new to his work, he is a pen maker "extraodinaire".

Gerry,

Don't feel bad about having to be told something twice.  Sometimes he had to draw me a picture of how it would look from the inside out, because I couldn't see it that way.  Thank you for sharing.

Heck, I have step-by-step pictures of some of the things he made and still never quite understood!
