I'm back...

[Lee Robinson .]

First, I want to say thanks to the Tradgang members for their exceptional patience. I unintentionally got distracted for a while and production basically was "shut down" for the last two months due to my work load at school and additionally some unexpected and serious recent health issues within the family...and the tradgang members (my customers) have been very patient and understanding despite me not following through with expected deadlines.

For those that don't know...My father had a 2nd battle with major arteries rupturing (1st time his aorta, this time his femoral artery) and was in ICU for a while. When he recovered, my wife's grandmother got ill and ended up passing away. She will be missed and this was tough for my wife and her family.

During this time, my customers have been VERY patient and understanding while waiting for their bows...and their support doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated. I really appreciate your patience during the recent tough time.

Things have settled back down and are now back to normal...something I don't take for granted. Several bow for these patient customers are 80+% completed and it won't take long for me to complete these bows...just needing some finish work. I have another that is glued up but not yet cut out...all of which should be completed during next 2 weeks (including the weekends to catch up).

Anyway, thanks for being so patient and supportive during the tough times...but I'm back.

Life, at times, seems to have no mercy and then again provides much joy.

My prayers are with you and feel quite fortunate myself that you have returned.

Thanks guys...and while I appreciate the prayers everything is stable now. Of course...no harm would be done in praying it stays that way. I certainly appreciate the normal times.
