John Duarte, the Saint Anthony church middle man in the Father Damien project stopped by today. I had Kelly's 2 beautiful calabashes for him. He loved them, as well as I did. I told him I would like to have a chance to bid on some of the pieces, they are for a good cause. He said I better have deep pockets because he has heard that some of the pieces are going to go for good money from some of the church benefactors. Some pieces will be there in perpetuity, like my goblet, some are going to the Catholic museum in Honolulu and some to the Father Damien church in Kalaupapa, Molokai. If you were a part of this project and have not received a thank you note from the church, please email me with your address and what you made. This has been a very fulfilling and fun project. John texted me a picture of the case after adding several pieces. Thank you to everyone that participated. Aloha from Maui, God Bless.
