Hello admirers of the Grandpa Garold Herald! Since I am Grandpa Garold I thought maybe I should contribute something. As you can see from the pictures I am still doing some woodcarving. The little painted figure above is one that my friend Gary Browning and his wife Joan (pron. Joanne) got in Russia. Gary is (was until retirement) a Russian Professor. He is now a Patriarch in Russia (not in the Russian Orthodox Church, but in the LDS Church). I liked this little figure and asked them if I could borrow it. (You can learn a lot about carving by copying someone else's work.) Anyway, my copy is on the left and now it is on Grandma Norma's desk waiting for her to do the painting.
