Thank you Gail!
We loved him so much. Not often does the father-in-law become the buddy of the daughter-in-law, but it was that way with Poppy and Me. I thind it is because I did not have a grandfather that I remembered.
Thanks again for your kind words.
Bonnie.

I remember this story from your book. I enjoyed it then and and also now. Loved the pictures that went with the story, too. Our grandchildren call my husband Poppy, too.

It seems to me that not only is the table a masterpiece, the life lived by its creator was equally masterfully done. Thank you for sharing such remarkable pictures of the man and his work. ~~Barbara~~
