Wilson, of Lakeland, Florida has leather carving as a hobby she is the proud possessor of a miniature replica of the sword used for the investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales. It is about 11 inches long and is one of only 200 made especially for the historical event. Mrs. Wilson is the daughter of Mrs. L. N. Trued of Sanford, Fla. and is the niece of Mrs. Lois Bailey of Jackson. Mrs. Wilson was the former Miss Bobbie Green and attended the first grade here under Mis3 Annie Lou McCord. When Mrs. Wilson became in terested in leather carving she had no idea her new hobby would bring her and her husband, Frank, a gift predicted to become a valuable collector’s item. The treasured gift was sent to the Wilsons by Len Dixon of Salford, England, a suburb of Manchester. Their English friend was also re sponsible for their receipt of three “first days of issue” covers commemorating the day. Mrs. Wilson explains that Mr. Dixon is a correspondence friend whom they have never met but feel they know him well through the exchange of letters. Their correspondence friendship came about because of their mutual in terest in leather carving. Mr. Dix on is \ice president of the British Leather Carver’s Association. Mrs. Wilson explained that she began leather carving when she stopped working and wanted something interesting to do. One of her finest creations is a mini ature saddle made by Mrs. Wilson for her enormous gray tiger cat with the intriguing name of “Lover-Kat.” Mrs. Wilson said that they have already received an offer for the sword by a collector but they are not interested, just wanting to enjoy it as a gift. 4719 S.
