Rickey Report post Posted December 31, 2010 I am a new, oldie. I started stamping leather about 20 years ago. Then I joined the military and got married and had a family. Just recently I retired from the military and I am in a residence for longer then 2 years. Moved alot when I was in the miltary. An example would be 8 times in 6 years. Anyway my wife and I have been taking leather carving classes in Independence, Missouri at Tandy Leather at 40 and Noland Rd. We are excited to begin learning about the leather carving, dyeing, lacing, and stamping as a hobby and possibly making some money once our skills have improved substantially. Any and all help from you members will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!! I will appologize now for our numerous questions and postings ahead of time. Today we are going to Tandy Leather in Independence, Missouri to get in on the end of year sale. We plan to purchase quite a few items. So in closing WE WISH ALL OF YOU TO HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR IN 2011. Rickey & Melissa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rickey Report post Posted January 4, 2011 Glad to be involved with you and everyone else. I do want to Thank You for your service to our Country also. Not many do retire from the military. Very rarely do I get congratulated or have someone say something nice when I where my Desert Storm Veteran Hat. That is OK though, I know that I served the Greatest Country in the World. I would do it all over again! Hope to meet up with you at a future event. Doesnt look like I will make the Arizona, or Wyoming show this year. Maybe next year when I have some vacation. Started a new job this past April. Anyways look at me ramble on, Thanks again and have a Great Day. Warmest Regards, Rickey Welcome aboard, I retired from the Army in 1990 after I had "Been all I could Be". Thanks for your service and congratulations on your retirement.
