This is a portrait carving of my dear old Father-in-Law, Mike Towey. MIke came to America from County Mayo in Ireland at the end of the War. He spent his career with the United States Post Office, he raised five daughters and raced his kennel of Greyhounds. In retirement his passion was fishing, which I thought was unusual because I would not say he was a man of patience. Here he is undoing a knot of fishing line that occurred when his casting line got tangled in the overhead trees.
