    Will there be math? Ogees on graph paper? Congratulations. Well deserved.

    I took a class at Campbell last year. I think I recall ten lathes for the students I wonder if we can fill the class from the Creek? Wouldn't that be a barrel of fun
    Teaching grandchildren the hobby is rewarding. Most of the time

    Congrats, John - what a great addition to their teaching team! I was just salivating over the JCC course offerings last weekend. I already know two class acts who teach there, now it will be three!
