A little over a year after we were married MC started his Air Force career. We were married in July of 1959 and in January of 1961 he flew off to Navigator training in Waco, Texas, while I remained with my parents and our 3month old son, Bobby. I moved to Waco as soon as possible and our Air Force Life began!!! And....what a trip we all had!
MC has been working on this particular piece for a couple of weeks. It means a lot to him! The details are amazing! He represented himself as a newly graduated Navigator leaving for his FIRST trip in a C124 !
This one will have a place of honor in the collection!!!
AND OFF HE WENT ......INTO THE WILD BLUE YONDER!
Love MC's little people, such a fun hobby!
ReplyDeleteIn addition to being a skilled carpenter, MC is a talented wood carver! I think his "little people" are charming. They remind me of carved folk art people I come across at antiques shops. This one is a keeper!
ReplyDeleteThese are even better in person :)
ReplyDeleteThat MC is quite a talented fellow Patty! I can't even begin to figure out how to do something this detailed.
ReplyDeleteAnother masterpiece! The famous MC is truly talented.
ReplyDeleteAnother amazing masterpiece by the talented MC. Also, thank him for his service and thank you for yours.

ReplyDeleteI cannot wrap my wee brain around MC's attention to detail. The carving is beautiful. Also, love the sure-handed painting skill that must be involved. Wonderful work to capture a memory.
ReplyDeleteMC is darn talented from building cabinets to making "little people".....this one is too cute:)
ReplyDeleteGreetings from.....you guessed it........Waco, TX. The AF base is now a college! The company that I work for has tight ties with the school :^)
ReplyDeleteOur home is in the middle of what used to be Camp MacArthur. It's a small world, and I am glad to have "met" you!!
Blessings,
