Things are looking good

[Kastaway]

I need your help. As you might know I will be exhibiting at the Ohio show next week. I am in dire need for all the magazines, catalogs, junk mail, white paper, etc., things you do not need. In short, my mother, who has helped me all these years at the studio, waiting on customers, sewing all the bear rugs, etc. will me 96 in a few months. She had her eyes operated on and for the last 5 months has been all messed up from the chemicals they used in the operation. She is finally coming out of it and her joy is to be back at work, shredding.  I am recycling all these papers and need a lot, for she has been back at work for the last 5 weeks, every day. I got here a commercial shredder that can work all day, and she is in heaven while doing it, in fact looking forward to work each day. Anything those attending the show can bring to the show would be greatly appreciated, Cabalas catalogs, magazines, etc. I will be recycling it as well. This is a way to to really help someone that needs it. I can not thank you enough for your help, and she thanks you. I will have my van so I can handle them.

Joe,

 I cannot believe your mother will be 96. I know last time I was at your shop, about 12+ years ago she was working away on rugs and was as spry as a 30 year old woman. I still, to this day, have fond memories of your shop store front and showroom from my youth, growing up in the next town over from you. I still have some family on the outskirts of Garfield Heights, Northfield Center and Hudson.
I need to make it a point to get by and see you both this fall. Will be in touch.

Kind regards,
Mary

[Heath Cline]

Doug, glad you are coming to the show. But I gotta ask, what year are you talking about when you are mentioning that b-ball team ?? LOL

Dan it is good to hear you will be able to make it !! If you are going to be here on Wednesday, you do know that mount registration does not start till Friday at noon don't you ?? Myself & some others will be there on Thursday afternoon/evening to get some much needed rest before the show starts. And yes we will be able to help with your mounts.

Is there a list of vendors somewhere that will be attending the OH show? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

[Wildside]

We are gonna start warming up the bus to head down from Michigan. 

Looks like we got us a convoy!

Things didn't get tied up enough for me to get them up.  I still don't know for sure who all will be there.  I do know that there are around 30 vendors that will be there.
