I have been blessed with an uncanny memory. I remember details about past issues of USGlass, which issue an article was in—even ones that are several years old, as well as trips I’ve taken and the many places I’ve been. My first trip to Texas was going to the old Contract Glaziers Educational Conference, which […]
I had always wanted to visit Savannah, but never had the opportunity until recently when we made a stopover on the way to the Glass Association of North America’s (GANA) Annual Conference, which took place a short drive away in Hilton Head, S.C.

This is a blog that’s been a long time coming. I’ve started it a number of times, and have never been able to finish it or make it convey exactly what I wanted. It’s tough, you see, because it’s about a person, and I don’t often like to write about people on a personal level. […]
