Well, WELL! I see Glenn has managed to catch everyone's atention. Nice cubie! I had heard that Glen is an artist, just exactly what kind? Curious mind and all that. That is a wonderful picture of you and that is how you looked after pulling my teeth. Big smile and all.I got a cold/sinus something. YUK! Have new flower bulbs to plant, now is the time. So that is Mr. Randy, seen him several times down at Blenko. Normal kind of guy. Glad WV is not playing this weekend, they need to practice. Well this is the time of year to get outside and enjoy the colors and the nice humid weather. Fall festivals are everywhere and someone just might have some Blenko for sale. Well got to go my yard is calling, if it doesn't rain. Hello Sol, and Moutain Rita.God Bless, Roxie

Della Sue,
My thoughts are one should buy only what they like and want to live with.
I own several vases made and signed by Randy Rider and I would like very much to own many more.
Randy Rider, Les Womack, Jessie Carpenter, Shorty Finley items made by these gentlemen are usually very special. HJH
What other workers
or blenko employees work should we be looking for?
GO GO RANDY RIDER!

many of the older men could do this if given the chance.
Being allowed to sign your work is a honor given to few.
