As we go thru life it is very rare to find a true friend, that is one that can accept all of your faults and still be there to help out when help is needed. Most people are able to find one or two good friends during their lifetime. I am very fortunate, no extremely fortunate. For I have found over 4,000 such friends. And the best thing is that y'all know them.
I am speaking of my good friends right here at the IAP. You have offered encouragement when I let you know that my father was coming home from the hospital under Hospice, with just a couple of months left to live due to leukemia. You have listened to my rants about things that irritated me. You have helped guide me in being not only a better pen-turner, but also a better person. You have made me laugh at some of the good-humored antics from certain members.
You have made me look forward to some quiet time in front of the computer communicating with you. You have provided me with a wealth of information, and have given me access to some awesome pen-blanks. Your generosity to others has been overwhelming. In fact, y'all embody the meaning of a true friend in all respects.
I am glad I can call myself a member of IAP.
I wish each and everyone of you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS, and a HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
Sorry for being so sappy.
with a grateful heart
