    Dick,

    What a wonderful interview! It is nice to get to know someone a little better that lives so close to my childhood home town of Kingston. I also remember all of the kind help you offered me by PM when I first became interested in the lathe and pen turning.

    Thanks for sharing a great personal side of yourself with the rest of us.

    btw.... great shots of you and David Marks. That had to be a fantastic experience and one to always remember.

    Great interview. (only 2 years since the first lathe!!!) After visiting with you and seeing all of the great bowls and hollow forms that you have made, I am humbled by how you have developed your skill in such a short time.

    Great interview Dick, and it's nice seeing a bit more about you. You epitomize a lot of what SMC is all about. Having seen pictures of your work, I find it hard to believe you've only been turning for only two years.Well done.

    - Vaughn
