A Pictorial Tour of the GPO - Page 6

 

The Guest of Honor for the pig roast (read that as Main Course.) That's Jim Dillett tending the fire. (M. Kelley)

 

A shovel comes in handy for stirring the coals! (M. Kelley)

 

John Iverson is a professional fishing guide in Alaska, and couldn't make the trip to the GPO. In his place John donated a monster salmon. Deno Simpson (left) and Merle Orlowski prepare the little fella for roasting. (M. Moore)

 

Merle Orlowski with shovel in hand. Merle and Dino Simpson spent several hours out in the hot sun tending the fish and fire. (M. Kelley)

 

Just a part of the large number of people that gathered to enjoy the pig, salmon and fixin's. (M. Montgomery)

 

The official GPO hat - not available in any store! (M. Moore)

 

'Ol Don Burgdorf couldn't make it to the GPO, so he provided this pattern and roughouts for the GPO carving contest. Look for another of Ol' Don's patterns in this issue of the E-zine. (M. Moore)


Sunday morning after the GPO was a time to collect Ol' Don's pig roughout and say "Good Bye's." Some folks had left late Saturday or early Sunday, but the carvers that were around Sunday morning paused for this group photo.
