As some of you may know/remember I recently lost my job, due to company cutbacks. Although there are forumites that face much more dramatic challenges in their personal life, my dismissal did bring me down last week. Imagine my suprise when a little care package arrived at my doorstep from Golden! Thanks to Joyce, Sal and the rest of the Spydercrew who made it happen. It was just the right encouragement and support at the right time!
What was in it you say...well my modest Dutch nature is not really willing to say it up front, but keep an eye on a forthcoming product review. But for someone who is facing a challenge "to extend beyond his normal limits", it was a most kind gesture and aptly chosen too.
Thanks to Joyce, Sal and the rest of the crew in Golden. The care package and the on-line support from my fellow forumites, really make me feel part of the Spyderco-community. Thanks to all,
Wouter
Care Package
Hi Wouter - I'm trying to get Sal interested in a second Amsterdam pre-view show next March before the IWA again. Could be that we'll be meeting again at that time. Hope you'll do fine and I wish you all the wisdom and luck in the world in your ongoing jobhunt.
We'll keep in touch and I'll let you know as soon as I hear from Sal and the crew.

Thanks guys! It's getting a little better over here, a couple of vacancies appear to be opening up on the market, and just maybe I'll start freelancing since I got another couple of requests this week! Who knows?
Jurphaas; Joyce emailed me about the tentative plans for an Amsterdam visit nex year. Apparently, Sal is interested but other obligations could get in the (our ) way. With the organization and all, I'd love to help out, just let me know!
