A special request

[cdrover(Clyde)]

As a teacher with over 25 years experience you meet a lot of very nice kids with a lot of potential and like us all we you try to influence these young people in a positive way. Last year one of the students at our school reached out to me. He knew I did scrollsaw work and he had a keen interest in trying it out. We had a number of sessions in our fabrication room playing with the school's  Delta 788. He came to me today and asked my help with getting a pattern  of Florida. His English gave the class an assignment where they could present their information in any medium they wished. He choose his new scrollsaw as his way and he choose Florida because he vacationed there when he was younger. He is looking for an outline of the state of Florida and he needs to add details like the state flower, logo if there is one, flag, recreation, hot spots etc,and anything that is Florida.  I am hoping that some of you talented pattern makers will help us out. Thanks in advance. Noah will appreciate your help. I am trying to get him to sign up as a member.

Sorry I can't help you with a pattern, but wanted to say good for you for encouraging him and good for him for wanting to use his hobby in such a way.  I hope he joins us..

Maybe it will be a start.
