Congratulations Walter! You built a very nice bow. Waaaaay better than my first...and thanks for the inspiration. I have another 33 years to catch up with you!
Ted, thanks for sharing your's and Walter's experience.     After meeting you a few years back I'm not surprised.      Pat

That is one nice looking bow that Walter built! It goes to prove you're never to old to learn something new...

Thanks Ted for sharing this great story with us.

We have failed to Thank the assistant, enough.
It is, sometimes; a Thankless job. Those who care for the elderly and infirmed usually don't receive KUDOS.
So, here's a bunch; for this 'friend' and all the others ,too!!

Ted,
This incredible man you wrote about happens to be my stepdad's father.

He didn't even tell us he was working on it, just sent us this link, obviously after he finished it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this story with others, and thank all of the other members here for the wonderful posts.

Walt became my step-grandfather when I was 22 and he was 74. At that time he was still living in PA with his wife, my stepgrandmother and was still sailing the boat that he had built. He is a truly inspiring person.

Again, thank you for sharing.

Laura , I am not surprised that Walt didnt mention it to many , he is a man of few words. And believe me no thanks are needed , it was my pleasure.

Wow....glad I finnaly got around to reading this....What Joel Smith said and many others have said....we need more stories like this.

Thanks for sharing Ted and Walter.
