Perhaps a moderator could merge this thread and the one started yesterday by Steve. I like the title of this thread better.
Great article on that link, Russell. Thanks for sharing more about Wally's life.
Remember, in a moments time, everything can change!
Vision - not just seeing what is, but seeing what can be!
What a beautiful article, and I am sure he will be missed by many. My condolences to his family and his wood turning friends.

Our thoughts are with his family today.
"Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig." Robert Heinlein
"[H]e had at home a lathe, and amused himself by turning napkin rings, with which he filled up his house, with the jealousy of an artist and the egotism of a bourgeois." Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary
Ahh how sad indeed. We should all be so thankful for what he shared with all of us and for what he did for our country. I only knew him from SMC, but he inspired me enough to try piercing.
I haven't posted anything here in quite a while, so here's to you Wally!

God has blessed us with the turning expertise and the common sense of Wally Dickerman. I always appreciated the comments and wisdom of Wally.
God Bless Wally!
Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
He will be missed.
