I have known and loved my wife for 43 years. She is the only woman I have ever loved and I love her with a passion I wish everyone could share. She is the reason I am. Connrock I did a very small thing for Tom's daughter and he insisted that I accept a pendant from him. So I sent him a cab and told him to make me something very simple for my wife for our anniversary. Telling an artist to do something simple is just a plain waste of time ;D but little did I know that he would send me a masterpiece. Tom's generosity, kindness, and help on this board is invaluable. Thank you Tom for the pendant. I'm proud to call you friend.  Sitnwrap I sent a picture of Tom's pendant to Lori and asked if I could pay her to wrap a bracelet with a like stone. She said she would do it for the cost of the wire. I sent her money for the wire and a couple of samples of my mediocre work as payment and after I screwed it up a few times and she had to send it back to me, she sent me a gorgeous bracelet in return. I don't know if you have noticed, but Lori is one of the most generous people on this board. She is there every time someone needs help and she never does anything for herself. I've found out that you cannot out give Lori. She will always outdo you no matter what you send her. Thank you Lori for the bracelet and even more for being my friend.  This is the most friendly, kindest, most giving board of people I have ever seen. Thank you all for your help, support and giving me the opportunity to be able to say "These people are my friends."

Curt,
The gifts for your wife are masterpieces in their own right. But your words about her outshine all. Thank you for sharing your true feelings with us. The world would be a better place if more people could do just that.
Congratulations on your Anniversary.......may you both look forward to many many more.
Beautiful work Tom & Lori!

Curt, there is no wonder that you are celebrating 40 years of mariage with such loving words as those.
I also want to say that Curt is a very humble man. He sent me much more than just a few of his gorgeous cabs and I felt honored through this experience.
Tom, your pendant is breathtaking and obvioulsy crafted for two who love each other deeply.
Curt, Happy 40th Anniversary and may the next 40 be just as wonderful.
Lori

I have NO idea why I came into this section of the board this morning as I rarely do.
I checked the tumbling section as I always do and was about to move on but something made me click on "Creations".
I had forgotten about the 40th anniversary celebration that Curt had told me about and when I saw it in the index I just HAD to come in and congratulate him and his wife.
What do I find? Unbelievable!!!
Happy 40th buddy and many,many more to come!
There are a lot of people on this board who helped my daughter Judi when she needed it and Curt was one of them.
The little it took me to make this pendant doesn't even come close to Curt's generosity in helping Judi.
Giving comes from the heart and Curt's must be pretty tired from all the work it gets!
Thanks buddy and God Bless you Both!
Tom K.
