Hello everyone, I made it back home safely too from the Summit........a 
slightly tear-eyed and sad to be leaving so many wonderful new friends 
behind. 

What a terrific mix of new and old members, professionals and amateurs, 
oily and hanga....everyone just giving of themselves to help or teach in 
one way or another.  I feel like I have made friends for life !

Thanks to Mike Lyon for his generous hospitality, a fantastic 
presentation, the use of such a wonderful locale, the webcam, the photos, 
etc, etc, etc..... 

Thanks to David Bull for coming all the way from Japan, printing everyones 
blocks nonstop around  the clock, the many special demos and having the 
patience to teach so many of us individually how to wrap a baren properly. 
 

Thanks to Steve & Corey at the Spencer Museum for a fantastic tour, 
exhibition and display of our exchange #15 prints. Above all thanks for 
your tremendous work and dedication in keeping Baren's print archives safe 
and accessible to future generations.

Thanks to Marco, April, Colleen, Carol, Mike, Ray, etc, etc, etc....for 
all the presentations and sharing your work and dreams with us...

Thanks to Barbara for the bookkeeping and for arranging the mall supplies 
to be made available for the summit.....

Thanks to Jim Wohlken for all the rides to the airport......the 
"Vampyr-mobile" was incredible in getting people
around town. 

To Maria, thanks for the ride to the Spencer and for allowing me to feel 
what is like to be on the road with the festival queen....in a small way I 
think I captured your zest for driving the wide open spaces ! 

To Gilda,  thank you.....saludame a Eduardo, besos a tus hijas y un abrazo 
fuerte para tu esposo..... 

To the guys at the barbecue place Friday night...Marco, Frank, Richard & John A., 
thanks for the laughs....you know what I mean.....{;-)  and  {;-)

This can go on forever here cause I feel connected to so many of you ...so 
I better stop before I get sad again....all I can say is that I have come 
back from the summit with a renewed energy for making prints and 
continuing my work at barenforum.org....for that my thanks goes to all the 
participants in KC and to all the members that were unable to come this 
time...

thanks...Julio
ps. stay tuned for Skokie exhibit info....

Ooooooh, April, what a fabulous group of photos, and with captions, too.  It
makes me feel like I was actually at the summit myself.  Wait a second! I
was there. No wonder it feels that way.

What a wonderful time we all had. Everyone was just fantastic, each in their
own unique way.  I am home, with luggage & brimming with ideas and things to
try - like tying a baren should I ever be able to find mine (it is lost in
the studio construction and there are many barriers between it and moi).
Thank you to everyone who made it such a fantastic week.  It will take quite
a while for me to feel like I have really come down to earth, again.  David
you are so special, it is so seldom we have the opportunity to meet someone
who is truly the master of his life. Congratulations on that achievement.  I
regret not giving you a personal goodbye, but maybe that means my fortune
cookie will come true and I will travel to Japan (cookie said trip across
the great water) and not just across the Missouri River, as good buddy Wanda
predicted. (Can you really trust someone who got hit up to go to the Tractor
Pull????)  Bobette - I'm cruising over to Amazon & see if I can find your
children's books.

Thank you all - you are the greatest.

Sorry for the second post in one day, but Bill Ritchie! As always you 
are a most interesting person to read.  You say it all so well.  It was 
an exciting time and to know there were folks watching via webcam was 
thrilling, too, although I think most of us forgot all about the camera 
as we were doin our thing.

It is nice to know that dreams really can come true.

Subject: [Baren 21885] another summit story 



Here is a little amazing story about David. We were visiting the
Spencer Art Museum at the University of Kansas in Lawrence where
the Baren Archives are stored. Steve and Cory were wonderful
hosts and to see my own piece in a museum exhibit was truly a
high. About a dozen of us were in the prints and drawings storage
room all around a large table looking at work and also one very
old carved block. Steve commented that they did not know who had
carved it....David went over, looked down and said, Jacoulet and
proceeded to identify the print. To say Steve was excited just
doesn't cover it...so now the block is catalogued properly and
Dave has a gold star in his crown and Steve still thinks Dave can
walk on water....You sort of had to be there to get the full
effect. It was truly an amazing thing. Dave says it was luck that
he knew it, but I think it was a bit of skill at reading blocks
and years of studing prints. I think someone, maybe April, got a
photo of the momentous event.

Just a little note about Sharri's story about Wanda; we were in
the grocery store when a stranger asked Wanda if she was going to
the "tractor pull", we kidded her unmercifully about it. She was
such a good sport to put up with us. I have to say that everyone
was in high spirits although slightly sleep deprived all week. We
will certainly plan a second summit, maybe in two years, maybe
someplace nice and warm in the middle of winter....we are open to
suggestions...It would be nice to find a dorm at a university
where people could sleep without noise....of course I had no
problem as Wanda, Sharri and I were at the Marriot...we took
turns on the roll-away bed and none of us snore! I swear this is
true. Best to all,
Barbara

I vote for Hawaii! Warm in the winter, but not too hot, and convenient
to at least one member!

Perhaps those of you who did not attend the Summit are getting tired of 
all of the praises and pictures, but the people who went there are so 
enthusiastic, learned so much, met so many wonderful people that we just 
cannot seem to keep quiet, but it will wind down. Now we are talking 
about another one. I am ready!!!
If only we had the place to hold such an event. We were so lucky that 
Mike invited us to his building. We thank him so much for his 
hospitality.
Also many thanks go to Dave Bull who held up captivated with his superb 
knowledge and demonstrations.
Wish to say that I neglected to say goodbye to the many friends that I 
made there, as I hate goodbyes!  But so many people "made my day/week";  
Marcos, April, Colleen, John Center with his personality, Gayle and Jim 
Wohleken as charming as I thought they would be, my buddies; Sue and 
Carol Lyons , Barbara, Sharri, and goodness all  the other people too 
numerous to mention.
I would invite you to my studio in Florida but afraid it could not 
handle so many people but have been thinking about , perhaps having 
regional get togethers.=20
Just a thought.

Here's to Summit 2

Perhaps the next Summit could be for oily types?  There are many of us out 
here in woodblock land.
