Every since Larry signed to become a member of the Knifemaker's Guild, he has not missed one show until this year.  Larry had a heart attack in December 2012.  During this year we had to cut our shows in half and because of loss of paid days off, he had to cut the Guild Show. 

He has had a lot of support from his friends with knives, knife makers and suppliers.  It means a lot when you have a community that is behind you through sickness and in health.  I had so many phone calls the night it happened, I can not even remember half the people who called.  It was overwhelming. 

He has missed out on a lot this past year but he is picking up his stamina.  Knife making is his outlet.  It is not a job to him.  He loves each and every piece he makes.  When it leaves him he has to know that the home it goes to is a loving caring one.  If he was a rich man, none would leave home!
