Call For Help: A Fellow Woodworker in Need

Below is from Highland Woodworking regarding David Charlesworth…its legit…not a scam… I donated…

David was to be at Woodworking in America (WIA) in Cincinnati last week and could not come.  I will post more about WIA later.  Another great show this year.

We received word today, Oct. 5, that renowned English woodworking author and teacher, David Charlesworth, was stricken with a serious illness while teaching in Germany and is in dire need of our assistance.

David is in need of an ambulance flight back to England but is not in position to cover the expense of one. We would like to encourage those in the woodworking community who are able to do so to make a donation of $1 to $10 to a fund for that purpose. Donations can be made via Paypal to David’s assistant John at jklweb@lineone.net (through Paypal). Highland Woodworking will also be contributing to the cause.
