G'Day Everyone....
Last Saturday,March29th,Texas had it first ever rodbuilder's gathering in Houston Texas...it was a long drive for me,700 miles round trip, but meeting new friends, made every mile, worthwhile....
What orginally was a idea started on www.2coolfishing.com rodbuilding forum ,turned into reality, for us all....
It was a day to view other rodbuilders works of art...marbling demo, weaving and a demo on snakeskin rod handles, oh, yes, I also brought the beercan handles !! LOL !!
FTU in Houston, hosted the gathering...while it was not perfect, I am sure this is just a stepping stone for the next gathering...
We presented Ron with a western cowboy hat,and we all signed it, as a momento for his rodbuilding room !!
I got to meet my friend, Ron Walter and Mary Walter, from Edgerton Wisconsin...they drove 1200 miles to attend the gathering.....we also honored Ron by declaring him a Honorary Texan...!!
I left Houston with new friends and new ideas...!! And...looking forward to the next gathering !!

Sounds like a wonderful event.
Glad you enjoyed yourself and that the public speaking gig wasn't so bad after all.
Cheers,

The whole world's mad save thee & me (but I'm not too sure about thee)
Mary Lou really sounds like everyone had a great time. It would be nice to get together with like minded people and sharing ideas.
Maybe you could arrange one over here for us, it would mean you would have to attend.
cheers
