Glasslady,
Twice now I have read about Walter Blenko, and the need to add his signature to my collection. Can you tell me more about Walter Blenko and where he fits into Blenko?

Laurie - The official Blenko website offers the bio below. The Blenko website :www.blenkoglass.com, the Blenko Collectors 4, Blenko Collectors Society and Blenko project all contain valuable information. All are updated regularly. Hope this answers your question.

Thank you for working to keep Blenko in the news each day.
I miss West Virginia and the people, your blog keeps me in the loop.
Will I be able to meet you at the Festival of Glass in 2010?
With a year notice, I should find no excuse to keep me from WV for this glass weekend.

My idea of the year is to have home shopping include Walter Blenko
the man has charisma
and charm and is good looking.
He could represent Blenko and create interest and develope a new generation of buyers and devotee
Can someone make the contact?
When I watch the men selling the gems - - I think - - Mr. Walter should be doing this!
Impressive, he could speak of the family connection, the quality of the craftsmenship etc.
Perhaps Rider or some one could demonstrate TV sales are where its at. . . . majors sales in a few minutes.
Where is the marketing person, lets find someone and talk to Home shopping networks.
Question.
When will Mr. Walter be signing glass again?
Brittany
Will you provide advance notice?
