Welcome to the final publication of Benchroom this Week for the Craftsman Program 2007-2008. I would like to take the opportunity to thank each of our students, this school not only exists for you but because of you. A special thank you to Jim and Britta Krenov for facilitating our weekly talks. Jim's words continue to inspire all of us at the school. Our teachers, Ian Godfrey and Gary Kent. Finally, my soul mate Yvonne for keeping the school and our family on course. Benchroom this week will resume on Friday May 23, 2008 following the first week of the Artisan Program.
