What is hand building?  I think I know a little about the pottery  wheel, 
but really did not have much of a chance to try it out.  I think it  was 3 
summers back I had gone to the Hole in the Wall Camp and spendt the week  in 
the craft area working with the kids.  I had gotten someone to kinda  stand 
there and tell me what to do, but a couple of the kids came over and  wanted 
to show me.  So I got up and then they worked the wheel and the  clay.  They 
had a great time and I was their audience.
 
The hole in the wall camp is really something and they never had a guide  
dog there before.  I really have to tell you it was really something when  my 
guide dog and I walked up to the tree house they have there.  It is  about 
50 feet off the ground and something like 40 trees make up the tree  house.  
It actually  has a house with a roof and windows that I would  say 35 
people could gather.  While I was there in the tree house they had  an author 
reading her book to a group of the campers.
 
Yes, Paul Newman showed up and was dancing with the kids and had lunch with 
 them.
