Sharyn Cunningham:
Attended the craft show today at NW and just can't believe the beautiful gourds of all shapes and sizes you had there. Love them all, only problem I had was to pick each up (afraid I would break) to hunt the price. Thanks for the beautiful display.

Carla Potter: Hi Ralph, I visited your musical unstruments and baskets and ..."I LIKE." I love the color of the gourd showing through, makes it close to nature and not hideing or making it something different. Thank you for the pleasure you gave. Sincerely, Carla...OK,U.S.A chutest@cimtel.net

Cathy Campbell: Ralph:
Thanks so much for visiting the Garden Club in Ft Madison. Your work is beautiful. I hope you pursue doing some workshops. I know there are many who would enjoy doing them.
I think I could really get into the woodburning. Of course, it easier to make my snowmen covered!
Look forward to seeing you again. Cathy

Dorothy: Ralph, I just looked at ALL your photos again. You have inspired me once again. I am going to give gourd instruments a try. I love all of yours!! The stitching on the gourd bowls with lids intrigue me. The hot air balloon is so cute! Wow, it must have been difficult to do that spiral gourd. Did you grow the twisted handled gourds for the twisted sunflower? I still cherish the necklace that I got from you. Keep those wonderful pictures coming.
March 4, 2003 8:26AM
Janice Gray: I have enjoyed your photos so much. The ideas in my head are endless right now. I have my first crop of gourds drying now and can't wait to get started on them. I'm sure that i'll have lots of questions in the near future. Thank You for your web sight! Wonderful Job! Sincerely, Janice

Tammy Brown: Just checking your wonderful site again, I really love the holly basket. Wondering what those sticks above the antlers are, they have Round things, (gourds?) on one or two ends. There isn't a name of them but they look fascinating.

Dennis White: Hi Ralph. I've got one thing to say ( and for those who know me, that is quite an accomplishment). I am starting a gord patch next year. I'm gonna steal your ideas, make some gord instruments, sell 'em on ebay and make a fortune. REALLY ENJOYED THE PICS. :-)
July 4, 2001 10:27PM
Mary Jane & Gerald: Thank you so much for the tour and the photo album, Ralph! The pictures of the favorite window and looking out ARE really special. I really like the leaded glass corner details which you captured in those two photos. We appreciate your diligent work at everything you create and maintain. This album will be bookmarked so we can enjoy it again, but am especially thinking we can pull it up again next winter and enjoy the 4th of July memories again.
July 4, 2001 8:05PM
JoAnne Churchill: What a wonderful display. You are sooo talented. I would so love for Erin to see what you have done. She is creative too. We enjoyed this visit alot. Thanks for making such a nice web page.
July 4, 2001 8:04PM
Hilda Daugherty Hartling: Your shelter house is very inviting. You're right -- flowers should be cultivated and then admired at one's leisure!
I'm a distant connection of yours via the White family (Eliza James Daugherty) and used to spend a lot of time in B'ville when my grandparents were alive. Many fond memories of the place -- although the drinking water was the pits!
July 4, 2001 6:41PM
