How can a society that exists on instant mash potatoes, instant cake mixes, frozen dinners, and instant cameras teach its children about patience?"Do you have a Glass Collecting Patience story to share?
My friend Larry from Serenity Glass of Texas often suggest having patience is the key to a great glass collection. Personally patience is a virtue I'm developing.

Reader Larry Thompson (son of Blenko Glass Craftsman Harry Thompson has both a great glass collection and Patience. Red his note - 10 years he waits for the appropriate stopper!
DR. Hillary , We purchased a 7054 in the early 70s and it got broken after we had it about 10 years, the stopper was undamaged so we had been looking for an other bottle for many years. When we saw this one on eBay with out a stopper we jumped on it . I need to do a little fitting on the stopper to make an ideal fit. Thanks Larry T.

Larry & Thompson family. Thank you for bringing to life the memory of your father.
We have enjoyed and hope to continue enjoying his sory.
I check in a couple times a month to look for Diane's glass, Bruce's glass and to learn more about Harry Thompson.
Thank you Thompson.
Hilary why not ask Mr. Gibson's children to write a bio and photos of his glass making time.
Jarfly, Charlie Chapman reading these bios would bring me great pleasure.
Also an appropriate additon for your Blenko Project.
Just my opinion.
Thank you Thompson.
