Re: [fibernet] Happy Birthday
Amazing! Happy Birthday, Fibernet and thank you, Ron. I have met the nicest people here on this net. Onward and upward! Antje in Wayne County, NY where cherry trees are blooming; and the apple orchards are poised to open their pink and white blossoms soon.

Re: [fibernet] Happy Birthday
Thank you Ron for making Fibernet possible. It's my favorite list. Sitting in an RV park in Dearborn, MI getting ready to do the Henry Ford Farm today. Did the museum yesterday and saw a Spinning Jenny, Cotton gin, Great Wheel, Penn. style and all sorts of wonderful Americana. What a place!

Yeah! 20 years old, we're almost legal, for some jurisdiction of the United States anyway.

Re: [fibernet] Happy Birthday
Hi Sarah, We met Richard today at the Henry Ford Greenfield Village. Had a great time. Spun on one of the Great Wheels. Most memorable, is that we were able to help with the old card. Jim was able to talk to the antique machines machinest and helped him with setting the drums and made some suggestions with carding the wool, etc. We found out that Richard is going to be in the same building as us at MD. We will be contacting him again. His loom in the village is awesome. I can't believe the amount of time he and his wife have spent figuring out the one pattern and devising the punch cards for the loom. I asked him if he was training an apprentice and he said that was a problem he was having. So, if anyone in the Dearborn area wants to learn the ins and outs of this awesome loom, you need to contact him at the Village. This is a wonderful place of Americana. We've done Sturbridge, Plimouth, I hosted a Heritage Days in Warsaw, MO, but I've never seen anything like this. It beats Disneyland, hands down. In fact, it's better than the American History Museum in DC, which we did last year. If you get a chance to visit this area, plan at least two full days to see it all. Gail
