Forrest Shoup

[KAW]

I'm sorry to hear that, his saddles were of the highest quality, attention to detail and function, hope he pulls through.

Hi Ryan,

thanks for posting the mailing address. The photo you posted is inspirational in a few different ways. For myself, never having met Forrest or even previously seen his work that photo seems to speak volumes about who he is and what he has contributed to saddlemaking. I sincerely hope he pulls through for his and his family's sake, for you as his friend and his student, and for all of us who he inspires.

Ryan--

My thoughts and prayers go out for Forrest's full recovery.

Thanks very kindly for letting us know where to direct our

hearts. This man belongs to the great legacy of California

saddle makers, and his integrity is evident in your work--

you're privileged to know the man, and to have had the

opportunity to study with him.

Y
