At my first CarverFest (2016) I had the pleasure of good company & camaraderie from cabin-to-cabin. Meeting Bob Carver was on the itinerary and hearing the ALS. My conversation with him included my story of first Craver gear, on up to the present. And a personal greeting & appreciation from my wife not in attendance. What a pleasure: a warm, no-distance-between conversation. If you can make this Chicago event, you will be pleased. And, the ALS are very fine, my cats persist in pawing at the on-line ordering screen plus plus the Ravennnnnnnns.
