That's a great body of work, Gordon.

Gordon! Great job, as always, I feel privileged to have seen your models and your workshop in person, they and you are truly amazing, but what most people don't know about you is what a wonderful and insightful person you are!!!!!!
I hope you can retire soon, and work on models full time, we all will be in for a treat when that happens. I hope to see you soon I will be back in Provo this spring, and I won't miss stopping by to see you, thanks for sharing your work with us and without you knowing it, that you,  are a great inspiration to all that follow this forum.
