Dear
Members,
March 5, 2010
My dearest mentors were Roy Buzwell, Don
Sheriff and "Little Hugo" Calderara. The last two being
the closest and most influential. And Hugo
being the more famous as he and Mike Colonna are the
artists who sprung the modern look of sand
carving upon the world in the 1930's. One day
"Little Hugo" and I had finished
spending an entire week redecorating one of my dad's
showrooms. No small feat as I was just a
kid and Hugo a midget. We had embarked on
the project because St. Charles Memorials
did under 2% of my Dad's monument business.
We wanted to turn that around - which
never happened. After we had finished our task,
Hugo and I plopped atop a couple of
1-8x2-0s and Hugo sighed, "Looks great. Now all
we need is a customer."
As I mentioned in the pervious WHAT'S NEW,
I am plugging away at this new FAST SEARCH
project. It is really one of those
impossible dreams thingies. So far I've recreated 50 pages with like
1000 yet to go - and that grows in number
as new designs fill old pages. But no one has commented
on FAST CONNECT. There haven't been new
members (nothing new) or even a peek from staffers
like James or Cathy. I'm not discouraged.
I'm one of those guys who grew up awaiting results ...
which seldom come.
Hence
forward whenever I post new designs they will be posted ONLY into
the Fast
Search area. (except for the
first two of my work posted below this one last time.)

Just a quick note. I am building a
completely separate website area called FAST
SEARCH Doing so will slow down new designs I personally draw -
this is a major project. It is being built because I am a bit tired
of hearing folks say that their searches give them too many designs
not of their keywords. OK, fine, we can do this one of 2 ways. Hire a
PHP programmer to do keyword searches - that's like $10,000 ...
Don't tell me, you're not for that, right? Or I can just do
design by design and post each on web pages with like keywords - that
will take the rest of my life, but that's what I'll do.
Any help is appreciated and ALL
COMMENTS and SUGGESTIONS are encouraged and sought after.
You can observe my progress at: FAST
SEARCH.
This will be the icon for the
new Fast Search ..............

Wow, another year. Gosh, I'm been doing this since 1981 -
except for when Jimmy took over for a spell in 1988 and Sam &
Lori did it for a time in 1994. Not sure if ShelbyM ever
handled the What's New page, but he sure did a lot of other things
back then in the last century. Been a lovely relationship.
