    Just got back from a small Letterhead meet in Johnstown, PA.
    Had a great day.
    Here are a few pix to share.
    (It’s called Chuck Wago for an obscure reason)
    This is the gang, and also a fun picture of the shop door.
    Some of the folks who were there are:
    Pat Kerr & Bob Hovanek (hosts)
    Jeff Lang, Gary & Mark Godby, Bill Beckner, Bob & Anne Timmerman,
    Jill Butterfield, Mike Leary, Bill Cosharek, CJ Williams, and other local suspects.
    Love….Jill

    A few more pix.
    The slumped glass piece is by Jeff Lang.
    And here is a rose between two thorns.

    Duelling Sign Painters.
    These are doors from a truck done by Bill Beckner (the rose)
    They were keyed and had to be re-done.
    Nice engine-turned gold leaf, huh.
    I did a gold leaf panel, but spilled thinner on it!
    Love….Jill

    Hi Rob.
    Yes there was beer but I only had 7-Up.
    Jeff had that glass in a holder.
    It was upside-down because he was working on it.
    Later he used a basket full of Chex Mix to hold it.
    I was so nervous that I didn’t go near it.
    He eventually gilded the glue-chipped areas.
    It is a gorgeous piece.
    (Hope he doesn’t mind me posting these!)

    I also saw him riding this bike!
    This is the gold panel that I screwed up.
    I even wrote “Oh Shit” by the boo-boo.
