Welcome

For Christian American readers of this blog:

I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!

A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Wood Beauty by a good friend ... thanks Marge R and Ken U!

Ken,

Marge forwarded this to me. You and I, as metallurgists, have enjoyed the beauty of polished and etched metal pieces. The grains form arrays of a variety of hues. I often attended the Columbus "Wood Chippers" exhibits here in Columbus. The Beauty of wood grain, mostly carved, was outstanding.

That is a wonderful hobby, Ken. I don't do it, I just wonder at the great pieces. Keep it up young fellow!

Sam K.

Hi Emery;

Got thinking about you the other day and wondered how you were and what you are doing now. Its been a couple years since I have heard from you I think.

As for me, I have been fully retired for about 2 and 1/2 years now and I am still living in western NY at the small ranch I bought after leaving DLA. I still enjoy woodworking and help out at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lockport NY. My brother located a used wood lathe (a 1960 era PowerMatic originally from the Barker NY School system and I have been practicing wood turning. Enclosed is a couple pictures of a couple items I made. I am by no means an expert wood worker yet but some of the things turned out well enough.

Hope you are happy and well. Drop me a line when you get a chance.

Ken Urtel
