Todd, I know that you are up there watching and I wanted to let you know that your old Uncle Tom is still around and it is about time I stumbled onto your web blog after all of these years! I am a few days into my 83rd year in my own journey on this rock we all have called our "home" from one time to another, and I still have all of your baseball drawings from that time when you asked me about my thoughts on the quality of your work. I told you that day that I knew you had talent, but I did not realize the level of talent you had as a young man! I had seen a few of your wall sculptures in photos that your mother and Carolyn had most likely emailed to me, but I had no real scope of your expansion into the field of wall sculpture!
ReplyDeleteYou remind me of your Aunt Marie as she was a noteworthy sculpture artist and teacher at the Art school in Washington, D.C., the name of which escapes me at the moment. But I am blown away at your maturing into the level of design that you reached before the Good Lord saw fit to take you Home.
Know that I think about you frequently and whenever God has decided that I am finally done with whatever reason He chose to place me here, I will be sure that you will be there waiting to say hello when I finally stumble in through those "Pearly Gates"! I hope that Bonnie has been watching the blog for you and will take time to say "Hi" to an old timer who is still on his journey and is still able to get around and work on building custom leather items for those who find out about me. I have been building custom knife sheaths, handgun holsters, wallets, and so many other items from business card wallets to iPhone cases and even custom dog collars! It keeps me off the streets and out of trouble and I am a "happy camper" now.
Until .....
