I probably had 6 conversations with Mel over the years. A finer gentleman you could not find. The last time I talked with him he wasn't doing well. He will be missed!

What a way to find out....

As Brent mentioned, Mel was instrumental in establishing the Catawba Valley Woodcarvers Club in Hickory, NC. He also played a large part in promoting the art of woodcarving in the community by teaching classes locally. He will be greatly missed.
