Dan Dew, Really nice site. I like your images very much and I especially like 
the "Why I Dew" explanation. One doesn't have to be Christian to understand 
it and appreciate it.

Subject: [Baren 11891] birth announcements and reductive hanga 

April,

Glad the link was feeling operable that time.  I love hanga SO MUCH! 
Recently my sister-in-law (who is expecting her first baby on Nov. 2--the
first baby that will make my parents into grandparents and me into an aunt
for the first time) wrote me and asked if I'd be interested in designing the
birth announcements... She asked about my doing a drawing or lithograph
portrait of the baby, but I immediately suggested that I use hanga to print
original birth announcements for everyone on her mailing list.  :)  Just one
more thing to be excited about!  Maybe soon I will get to do more than three
colors... Is it true that you did the Frogman's print as a reductive print
(or was it some cool two-block reductive thing that you came up with),
April?

I'd love to try reductive hanga sometime, but isn't the time window for such
a thing three day days or less?  It's possible to dry the prints and then
remoisten them and print some more colors, too, isn't it?

Love <3 & Lint * !

Subject: [Baren 11893] SGC Conference 

Never too early to start planning for next year's Southern
Graphic's
Council
Conference, March 7-11, 2001
Maria said
"This coming year's conference is in Austin Texas,
conveniently
centrally
located shhhmack in the middle of the EEUU (that's US en
Espaņol).
Now, wouldn't it be fun to get a whole bunch of Baren-folk
to go and
meet
there and have a great time? Let's start planning now. The
conference
fee is
very reasonable and we can get rooms together to save that
preciousss$$$"

I'm in Maria. All I need is someone to donate the return air
tickets and  pay for the accomodation. I think there's a few
dollars spending money in the bottom of the piggy bank...
I've got suitcase, sketchbook and camera.

Maybe if I write Saint Nick a nice letter *sigh* but we dont
have a chimney so how can I send him the note by burning it
in the fire? ANd the poor bugger gets so hot in his
fur-lined suit when he visits us in mudsummer 30+ degrees
celcius temperatures. Not to mention the hassle he has
finding all the kids at the beach.

PS It was great fun to meet Jan in the flesh - WA is very
far away.

Subject: [Baren 11894] Dr. Gordon Gilkey 

Dear Friends,
It is with a heavy heart that I am reporting the death at 4AM this
morning of Dr. Gordon Gilkey of the Portland Art Museum and much loved
friend to prints and printmakers everywhere. Gordon was diagnosed with
colon cancer about a year ago and was doing pretty well when his heart
started giving him trouble. After successful surgery about 10 days ago,
he contracted pneumonia and even though his spirit was stronger than
anyone I have ever known, his poor body just gave out. We will miss him
terribly. Please pass this sad announcement on to any who know him. for
me it is like losing a much loved adopted grandfather and I am sure
there are many people who feel just as I do.
Best to you all,
Barbara Mason
