Special Thanks To Wayne Linkfrom Lorne and Ruth Cherneski "Our group, North West Country, entertain at various local events. The highlight this year was appearing at Wayne Link's Steel Guitar Convention, in April, in Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada)." "At this event, Ruth and I did a number of Hawaiian tunes the first evening, and country tunes the second evening. Al Brisco (Toronto), Billy Jones (Medicine Hat), Doris Atkinson (Winnipeg) played too. And, of course, Wayne, who builds the Linkon Steel Guitar." "During our appearance, we mentioned the '97 HSGA convention (Honolulu), and our memorable Hawaiian holiday, as well as meeting the Master himself, Jerry Byrd. I brought along my copy of Lorene Ruymar's book, and Wayne mentioned it from the stage both evenings. A good deal of interest was shown in the book." "I'd like to point out that Wayne Link is a strong supporter of HSGA. If it hadn't been for him, I probably would not have heard of your organization, and our visit last year to Hawai`i might not have happened. Also I'd like to give Wayne credit for providing me with an opportunity, after a career in the teaching field, to become re-involved in the music field." "My wife, Ruth, and I expect to attend the '99 HSGA convention in Honolulu, and participate in it as a duo. Ruth has only recently taken up `ukulele, but has been making steady progress."
