Denver, CO 2003Dec 6) It was a longer way to Denver this year, as we turned south to Kansas City after the radio advised that the other end of Nebraska was snow blocked. So we dropped down to I-70 from I-80 via a diagonal I-29 to save miles but still totaled out at 1376 or so going into Denver.Arriving at 2:30A local time, and still 30 miles south of the clinic site; we were up at 6:30A and at the clinic by 7:45A. Curtis took my place as I had already attended these same clinics elsewhere. Larry Naylor did a splendid job covering the technical material. Curtis was impressed with both the presenter and the audiences response to his presentation. Curtis mentioned how everyone there really wanted to improve themselves and expand their knowledge in unfamiliar subjects. Below are some pictures. 
 Larry covered leveling flute tone holes, wood moisturizing, and rod making. 
 Three clinics, three different subjects; all in one day. Tying a record?
