June 21st is Fathers' Day - Get a DAD for DAD

A DAD for DAD. What could be a more appropriate gift? (All
you Dads-don't be shy-let it be known to your family that
the DAD would make a very nice Fathers Day Gift). Yes it
fits your Ultra Tec no matter how old it is. Yes, you will
love it..

New Ultra Tec Representative -- Tomohiro Karino - Root of
Power
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tomohiro Karino, based in Hiroshima, is our representative
for Japan West. Tomohiro does beautiful work-see the photo.
He placed first in the Master division of the 2008 US
Faceters Guild Single Stone Competition, having received an
exceptional score of 99.82. In 2007, he was first in the
PreMaster division, and in 2006, second in the Novice
division.

Another New Representative - Megan Kinman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Megan Kinman became interested-in and learned faceting in
North Carolina She has fairly recently moved cross country
to Bellingham, Washington. Megan creates custom jewelry,
designs that incorporate her own faceted stones, so she
brings "real world" experience to faceting and using the
gems. She's enthusiastic being Ultra Tec's new
representative in the area -- the Pacific Northwest having
traditionally been an area of high interest in gem cutting.

Yet another new Rep -- Ron Snelling

Ron Snelling is Ultra Tec's representative in Denver,
Colorado. Ron has been active as an officer of the US
Faceters Guild, where he is currently Secretary, and also
with the Denver Gem and Mineral Guild, where he is currently
Treasurer. Ron was faceting teacher, and obviously a "role
model," for his son Chris, 16 years old, who was featured in
the January issue of Rock and Gem magazine, where it told
about Chris performing faceting demonstrations at the 2008
Denver Gem and Mineral Show.
