From GrandpaJoe-

I am is 66yrs of age and have been retired from G.M. for 7 yrs.

after putting in 36 1/2 yrs. on the job. Married to the same girl for 43 yrs.

Two grown kids and three Grandkids.  I started to scroll saw 71/2 yrs ago for 

relaxation after I got off from work, as I am a night owl. 

My first really good project was the little  league ball player. 

I developed the pattern from a picture in the newspaper.

My first sales were for 12 ball players at Christmas time from my

co-workers. I have made the pattern better over the last few years. I go to

the little league games with the grandkids and show them to the parents and the

grandparents at the games and do pretty good with the sales.

I have over a 100 patterns, and my hobby now is to work with the patterns

to improve on them to make them different. This takes a lot of patience and

some imagination. I have made pictures by taking pieces and parts of

different patterns put them together to make a new pattern picture.

I also like to play golf and sing in the choir, and of course work on the

house which is a old school house built in 1928. These activities keep the

old man young. My youngest grandson is a freshman golfer, we spend good times

together playing and watching him at the school matches. My grandaughter is 8

yrs. and she is starting to swing the clubs also. I am looking forward to working

with GrandpaJon and Steve and getting involved

in the business at hand, should be interesting.

Thanks, Grandpajoe
