PRESIDENT Dubia, I thank you very much for putting out word of my interest in doing some turning while in Santa Cruz. I had wonderful days turning with Jim Baker and with Sue Branston visiting their studios and seeing all the beautiful wood they have collected. I received invites from Linda Anderson and Earl Wynn but could not get to work with them because of the rains, road conditions, and my own scheduling issues. I look forward to returning in 2018 and meeting more of the members of the Santa Cruz Woodturning Association. Again, Larry, thanks so much for helping me get some turning time. Tom Eovaldi
