Gayle and everyone: The MGC show will be in October, but I don't have a
specific date yet.  I'll let you know.  The more of us that can be there
the more fun it will be.  Listening to the news about Graham's workshop
makes me want to be there.  It really sounds great.

April: Did you find a baren at New York Central???

Thank you Graham for the extra work around our barens -
I am  looking forward to working with April in August but also am very envious of
the class to start up in that lovely neck of the woods.  I will looki forward to
any of the postings from the workshop!  Bea

Hi people.  I thought I'd try this 
as I may be writing to you from
Tennessee from a library there.
It seems my mom fell again and
may have broken some ribs.  She
is in the E. R. now and I think we'll
be going back to Tennessee 
tomorrow.  John, I'm bringing the
prints for Exchange #2 with me 
and will mail them from there.

The folks are out to lunch....ops a little slip....dinner and Marnie and I
are kinda getting our second wind after supper.

We still have not be successful in getting the software to work for the
Toshiba PDR-M1 digital camera that Wanda bought to the workshop.
Have been on to the support line at Toshiba, who said they would be back to
me in an hour.  That was 5 hours ago.   We can only hope.   There has been
some interesting photos taken and it would be ashame that they could not be
uploaded to my computer and put on a new web site page I have designed.

Just maybe someone out there has a Toshiba that uses the "Picture Shuttle"
software that we believe is the cause of the problem.    If you have....
e-mail it to me at    gscholes@home.com

The second day has been full steam ahead..... In the case of Marco- who
will be starting to print a 4 colour print tomorrow.  You may recall his
heads with very bold and carving.
It has been a day of image creating, transfer and carving for everybody else.
Each are progressing very nicely and each at there own pace.
John Amos- is moving slowly but somehow think he will win.......with his
turtle image
Wanda Roberston- is coming up roses.....with her flower image,
Barbara Mason- is down to earth....with her organic imagery
Greg  Robison- is seeing the light.... or will... with the garden light image.

Hopefully we can get this damn camera working.

Well this is the best I am ...... since I am nearly down to my knee caps I
will leave with this

Graham

Subject: [Baren 4732] Terrific prints! 

This is from Ray H in Vermont.
Andrea Rich--I was in Seattle for an afternoon last saturday and when
finished with getting my 90 year old aunt home from the emergency room
after she had fallen while walking back from the store (she should be
fine; bruised & a bit alarmed) I stepped into the Frye Museum.  They were
about to close but I rushed through an exhibit called "Alaska's Copper
River Delta"--sponsored by a Dutch foundation, I believe, that brought a
number of artists to the delta to produce art.  Andrea!  How wonderful
your prints in that exhibit are!   From the black on white single blocks
to the multicolored blocks--very impressive technically, very impressive
emotionally!  Those of you slaving away at the workshop, if you have time
while passing back through Seattle stop at the Frye--it's a bit of a walk
uphill from the center of town--or, if you're driving, there's often free
parking (and paid parking) in the area.  Andrea's prints are certainly
worth seeking out.
Hope your camera works soon, Graham!   Sounds like you're all having a
great time.
Ray H
