Grandpa.Dawson learned much of what he knows about wood-working and life in general from his mother and father and thanks them for their influence. He is indeed a grandfather of eight at last count, ranging from Eleven to twenty-four, and Great Grandfather to two. He is employed full time as an educator in a local school district, at least until he decides to retire (soon he hopes!) His loving wife, Grandma.Dawson is very involved in the wood-shop. She comes up with many of the craft designs and motifs and does much of the painting and finish work. Our four Granddogs.Dawson and two Grandcats.Dawson help us out as well.
