Member Joe Frank lives in Somerset, MA, a short drive to southern Rhode Island.  Joe joined several years ago as a novice.  He needed a mentor and found one.  John George stepped up.

Joe works full-time so his availability with John was limited.  With a couple years lost due to Covid, John mentored Joe for almost four years, one evening a week at John's workshop in Hopkinton, MA.  As Joe's craftsmanship progressed they continued their mentorship program building other pieces.  Joe was elated to be mentored by John.  But like all of us, Joe was surprised when John died suddenly last fall.  Joe felt the need to extol his mentor and write about his experience.  To learn more about their mentorship arrangement, read Joe's article A Tribute to John George and the EMGW Mentor Program.  To contact Joe for more details, click Joe Frank.
