President's Message
John Hickman
A few days just before the meeting we heard the sad news that John Hickman, who had been a BAWA member for several years, had died on July 1st.
In thinking of John I remember the occasion when he became the first (and only as far as I know) member of our organization, to work as a height model, albeit for only a few moments.
During the setup of our 2016 BAWA Show, John volunteered to help move the exhibits in front of the backcloth in so they could be photographed.
There was one exhibit, a 10-drawer skinny dresser, that was 65 in. high and the photographer wanted to photograph it in a way that would indicate it's height. John volunteered, or was persuaded, to stand next to give it some perspective.
We will miss him as a member.
We signed and sent a card with our sympathies to his wife, Adrienne, and family
There will be a memorial service on August 27th, Details will be sent out when they become available

Guest Speaker Morgan Strickland
Morgan started fine woodworking only 4 years ago when he took the Gary Rogowski's week-long class in Portland.
He credits Tim Killen from Mt Diablo Adult Education woodworking class as one of his tutors and inspirations.
Morgan likes to begin a project with hand drawn sketches and then uses SketchUp to create dimensioned drawings.
