I'm trying to remember if John Valicek did (does) stock work in the hill country of TX


As usual just my $.02

He does... Canyon Lake area.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

He did some beautiful work for me back in 06. Just trying to track him down for a 2016 project.

I think I read an article about him. Didn't he retire? I'd be interested in finding out if he's still doing stocks.

Want to make just about anything work better? Keep the government as far away from it as possible, then step back and behold the wonderment and goodness.

I had used him back in 2006. Another member PMd me saying he thought John had some health issues and retired.

I have two stock made by John! A good man! He had some health issues a few years ago. I don't know if he is still making stocks. I will ask.

Thanks Rusty. Someone else said the same thing. That he had health issues.

I have been informed that he is in the College Station area. He is not doing any work. He may be selling his stock making machine.
