Frosty,
 
Gee, I made YOUR list of "inspirational" folks?  That's pretty
flattering.  You certainly are on MY such list.  I think I've got more
of your emails socked away in a "saved" folder than any six other folks
on this list.  It's also pretty flattering to be on the same list as
these other guys.  I'm no George Dixon when it comes to artistic skills.
 Or even an Andy Vida, for that matter, whose artistic talents are only
exceeded by his inimitable fluency in the language...  
 
Of course I'm not quite sure what it is to be complimented for
"adaptation," but I'll let it ride...

Who here couldn't learn a thing or two about ingenuity from Mike
Spencer?

The power of shear human knowledge and skill with basic
("traditional")
tools from George Dixon?

The value of book learning, research and adaptation from Bruce
Freeman?

Perseverance in the face of unspeakable pain from Roy Wilson?

The list is too long to name more than a few folk who've been
inspirational
for me. My last point being I wouldn't get nearly as much as I have if
I
hadn't sat around the fire chewing the fat with the folk. Sometimes I
get in
a bind and ask myself: How would Mike S. do this, George, Roy, Andy
V.?
Yeah, I know the last is kind of scary. . . .still, it works more often
than
not.
