Too cool, Spinnaker! I'm a patternmaker and have made a few models for customers. My oldest daughter is a doc at Madigan Hospital and lives in DuPont and our niece works for Microsoft and lives in Kirkland. What part of Seattle for you? We'll be out in early March for our second granddaughter's first b-day.
