SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM JOHN & JOYCE NELSON

John & Joyce Nelson

Joyce and I have decided to retire from our mailorder scroll saw pattern and newsletter business. While this decision has not been any easy one to make, we both feel that it's time to retire from this part of our business so that we can find time to travel, ride our bikes, play tennis, and generally enjoy life. I want to study classical piano and Joyce wants to get back into oil painting.

re will continue teaching scroll saw lessons at 'Scroll Saw Central" here in New Hampshire and at a few other places we're booked at. We will also continue developing new, exclusive projects for Creative Woodworks and Crafts, as well as for Scroller, Ltd. We're particularly excited about a book we're writing, published by Fox Chapel and going on sale 9-30-97. The book is about a hot new trend in woodcrafts, scroll sawn baskets that actually look woven.

Joyce and I will miss all our wonderful customers, and we thank you for your support over the past four years. We hope all of you will keep in touch with us—we have enjoyed your letters, stories, photos, and thank-you notes. In many cases, it has been very heart-warming to hear of how scroll sawing has helped many of you in various ways—perhaps this has been our greatest reward!

After giving much thought to the matter, we have decided to turn our business (the patterns and newsletter, Scroll Saw News) over to Scroller, Ltd. While getting to know Roy and Scott (of Scroller, Ltd.) over the past year, we found that their philosophy of running a business is very similar to ours—treat the customer right all the time! Thus, we are very pleased to announce that Scroller, Ltd. has, indeed, acquired our scroll saw plans and patterns, and will also take over publication of Scroll Saw News. We feel that we have left you "in great hands" with Roy and Cheryl King and Scott and Kathy Kochendorfer. We know that they will "" Roy & Scott of Scroller, Ltd. offer you terrific service, new and exciting scroll saw patterns, and above all, the kindness and consideration you deserve. We hope that you will give them the same support that you have given us over the past few years—they are great young people, and we wish them all the success in the world!

If any of you are in Dublin, New Hampshire, stop in to see us and have a cup of coffee. We are on Main Street, in the middle of town.
