Mr. Long
With the horn cup contest coming up I would like to say a few words.
I would hope that this event would be an annual affair.
My entry is not up to my standards and I would like to be able to redeem myself.
For me it is so hard to find the right kind of horn to make the kind of cups I make.
Also,I would like to donate my entry to be auctioned off with the moneys going to the guild.
Thanks
Henry G. Frank
