Please don't tell me he's a dancer. Master “D” has disclaimed dancing. He plays a wicked cool living room system. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted October 19, 2021 Moderators Share Posted October 19, 2021 Thank you all. The whole thing was overwhelming, I am not used to attention like this, I was very nervous to say the least. Travis and Craig did a great job as did Paula and Lauren Yocum and family, I was very suprised they came I had no idea but glad they did it was really nice to see them again. Being part of something tied to Scott and Paula Yocum make it that much better, very nice people. I first worked with Scott and really liked him but did not know the rest of the family untill he had passed on, a very nice family and glad I am lucky enough to get to know them all. Earlier that day I told Craig I felt sick about this and he said get over it, it is going to happen. Being very nervous and standing in front of a bunch of people and having nice things said about me is not easy to do, even if I know them all and they are friends. I really appreciate this, I had no idea and never expected it, just wanted to try to make a nice museum for PWK and for whoever visits. There are many people who deserve this, I am just a small part, but really appreciate everyone even considering me in with all the people who also deserve this. Thank you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone there knows I am not a painter, I get it mostly on me and everything around me and sometimes where we want it. But I am getting better at touching up, I have alot of practice. It is exactly why I go to the museum in what I call pre painted clothes, we worked that day and I never changed, that shirt only has a little paint on it, for now. It did need a refresh but mostly just cosmetic, clean, repair and repaint or refinish. But it overall is in good shape considering it is 100 years old this year. 11 hours ago, 001 said: turn around an Old house in it's former glory into the Luxury house that is deserving of PWK - To us that is the goal, PWK deserves a nice museum, to create a product which is a luxury item in a small town and keep the company growing for over 75 years makes a great story and says alot about the man who did it all. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Once again Elden congratulations. In the 5-6 years (who's counting) since I've been in here I find it truly amazing how things have progressed. Patience is a virtue and EVERYone that pitched in deserves a "solid." lol I often wonder what others think when they see something like this completed. I'm sure there have been many favorable comments in the community. PWK's contribution to the economic impact of Hope is fantastic. "Hope"fully corporate "gets it!" It's just "home" to so many. It's all on my bucket list someday. One of those things where ya just spend a week or so nosin. Can't wait! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
