The heckling goes both ways and he's a good sport about it. If he can handle the ribbing he takes in our classes, he'll do fine in the real world. The key to all of this is not to take yourself, or what your doing too seriously. That's not to say he should be cavalier about his woodworking but that he should always stay grounded in the things you, his parents, have taught him. He's a good kid and I look forward to heckling him further in 2009. See you guys in Timonium the weekend of January 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Toby,

William seems to be getting more focused on what he wants to do and at the age of 16 that pretty good, each class he goes to he seems to be getting more and more sure of himself, even with all the heckling. Hope you have great holidays season, see you the first week of January at the show. Had a great time and learned a lot in the inlay and veneering class.

He knew Jefferson and the family has copies of documents written by Jefferson mentioning him by name. I feel a strong connection with the area. It is beautiful there.
