Two weeks ago we received a phone call from the Southwest Wake News. They wanted to do a story on my son Alex and his pen business. The reporter came to the house and interviewed him last week and we are told the story will be featured in this weeks paper which comes out on Wednesday. For those of you who do not receive this free paper you should be able to see the story on their web site: http://www.southwestwakenews.com/

George

The on-line edition is available!

It is also in the Cary News

Re: UPDATED! An NC Woodworker Featured in Southwest Wake News

Ok... this is getting out of hand. I just had some people here at work bring in the paper and say, "this kids pens look better than yours"! I had to admit to them that they were right. Is there no bounds to Alex's fame?



Way to go Alex!!!

That's funny, two guys I work with brought in the article because they thought I would be interested in it, and thought I might know Alex. I was very proud to say I do.
Somebody's the talk of the town lately
