Sara Jane Douglas: Hello, it was wonderful speaking with you. You have a beautiful website, and it looks like you produce some high quality work. I can tell you are very modest, and you should be very proud of your artistic achievements. I hope you have a splendid time in Florida, and I still think you should set up at a few more shows, or auction some of your work so that others may enjoy for a lifetime.
Wishing you the best...
Sara Jane :)

Richard Brown: Ray,
I just wanted to say that I really enjoy seeing your work. I visited your site in order to view your NW Coast style carvings but, enjoyed all of your albums.
I had seen Mike Bloomquest's fish that he posted links to on the woodcarvers list serve site and have to agree with your comment about Mr. Reid. I actually have a couple Bill Reid's carvings and consider it an honor to have them to enjoy.
I am in the process of building my carving studio area, as we recently moved and I have no where set up to carve at the moment. I hope to have it done very soon so that I can get back to carving myself. Thanks again for taking the time to post all of your wonderful work on the web for us to enjoy.
God Bless,
Richard Brown

Tom Horton: Ray, Outstanding work. Spent a great 45 minutes going thru your albums. Most inspirational and you have been doing "great" work for a long time. Keep up the great work. Again, it is so inspirating. Oh, yes, even seeing your workbench made me feel better. Guess I am not the only one who uses his table saw table for glue ups, dry fitting etc. How do you get a work bench clean and keep it that way?????

Melody: Hi Uncle Ray,
Got your web address from Pam. Your work is out of this world! I like the Sea Otter & the 2nd Frog the best!! Your floral panels & guitars are awesome too. Mom & Dad said hello. Can you still make the cricket noise?!

Pam: Hi Dad! I love the floral panels, and all the flowers. Post more pics of you, your wife and the house. I love you Dad.

Bill Russell: Ray, I took a look at your PT and I have to say it was a very enjoyable visit. I was following the talk about router bits with some interest. I would love to try a challenging project in relief.
Ray, guys like you and Bill Judt give me some inspiration to try something....someday.
All I can say is fantastic carvings.

Fred Quenzer: Ray,
Fantastic, I've only gotten half way through your gallery of photos, and am completely blown away. Great work!!!
I look forward to seeing you next year at Dmitri's, and as Rick Butz always says "happy carving".

Lloyd Skeoch: Hi Ray, I tried sending a message directly to you using the address from your mail to the woodcarver mailing list, but it bounced. I had writen to the list after your invitation to look at the GPO pictures in your album. After looking at the GPO pictures, I went to the rest of your albums. I was particularly fond of your rose carvings, and I was wondering how thick the rose carving that was attached to an oak back was. I am considering doing the same sort of thing, but with a family picture, and i am not sure how thick I need the basswood to avoid any problems. If you had replied to the list, I missed it, so i am still curious.
