Many of us were fortunate enough to attend the birth of the Chicago Custom Knife Show on the September 10th weekend. This newborn proved to be a healthy and energetic addition to the annual show calendar. Congratulations to the parents!
Unbeknownst (!) to many, there was another historic birthday celebrated on that same weekend - the birth of that up-and-coming "young" knifemaker, Robert Terzuola.
Contrary to popular belief that Mister T's first puppy was a short-haired brachiosaurus, the gentleman in question has just turned a mere 60 years old.
My wife and I were honored to have been invited to Bob's surprise birthday party - and let me tell you, that man was SURPRISED!
I thought I would share a few of my amateur photos of the wonderful evening here.
The birthday boy arrives at the restaurant, accompanied by Susan Weese and Scott Slobodian. That's Owen Wood's back to my camera.
Tony The Waiter (who remembered all 23 drink and dinner orders without writing down a single word!), Owen Wood, Allen Elishewitz, Des Horn, Bob Terzuola, and Kaj Embretsen.
Allen Elishewitz and Des Horn in conversation.
