Meeting JW_Halverson
Parnell:
I hear tell that the W stands for Wendigo. ;D
Good story, good pictures.
Digital Caveman:
I had a similar experience recently meeting the Twin Oaks crew. :D They were very friendly and welcoming.
One of the first things I heard was, "The only one that calls me Mr. Bagget is Internal Revenue"

He does??? I am there all the time and I never see him. (Though I think I can smell him, but that might be the stockyards)

According to Wikipedia: Wendigo (/ˈwɛndɪɡoʊ/) is a mythological creature or evil spirit which originates from the folklore of First Nations based in and around the East Coast forests of Canada, the Great Plains region of the United States, and the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, grouped in modern ethnology as speakers of Algonquian-family languages. The wendigo is often said to be a malevolent spirit, sometimes depicted as a creature with human-like characteristics, which possesses human beings. The wendigo is known to invoke feelings of insatiable greed/hunger, the desire to cannibalize other humans, as well as the propensity to commit murder in those that fall under its influence.[1]
Sounds like you have been talking to my ex-wife. :-[
Lemme tell you, folks, meeting Russell was a shot of pure energy. He is a genuine person and one of very high caliber. Russell embodies the best that we talk about in this community, he is warm, kind, welcoming, accepting, and enthusiastic about other's work and endeavors. The group leaders all said great things about him and that he made their work with the group much easier. While he is about the thirstiest sponge there is for soaking up new knowledge about this craft, there will come a day very soon where he is going to be the one answering all the questions of those that come here and ask. And I guarantee whatever we have given him will be given back ten-fold or more. This young man is not one to go bury his talent, nope, not our Russell.
As for anyone else that is coming to the Black Hills or even just passing through, be sure to drop me a line. I'd love to meet you for coffee at the very least.
Parnell:
Of course, just kidding JW. You’ve been very helpful to so many over the years. Good on you.
WhistlingBadger:
;D ;D ;D
