Gary, God bless you. I saw you yesterday at the Way International 69th Anniversary celebration. It was a delight to speak with you. Your work is truly an inspiration of God's handiwork. Not only in the realistic animals but in your excellent craftmanship that you do to bring them to life. You are God's Best! I showed the librarian here at the library your website and she was amazed at the beauty of the animals. Thanks for taking the time to talk to me. It's a blessing to get to know a little about your wonderful life. I love you, Bro! and am believing the best for you and your family. You're in my prayers for health and prosperity as you and yours continue to stand on truth. We've got a Great Big Wonderful God! Your Brother in Christ, Jerry p.s. My address is 431 S. 19th St. Mount Vernon, Illinois 62864 I don,t have a computer or e-mail but you'll be in my thoughts and prayers. EPHESIANS 3:20
