Thank You
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have been reading the Woodworker’s Journal Weekly this past year. (And many who have been with us for much, much longer.) I want to assure you that we don’t take your support for granted, and that we understand it is your interest that makes it possible for us to have what might be the best jobs in the entire country.
Please allow me personally to say that I am thankful for so many things: my family, my country, my coworkers and all you readers out there.
Here is to a lovely holiday — may it be all you wish for.
