WE WILL COME DOWN FOR THIS EVENT HONORING WINSLOW ANDERSON.
OUR LAST VISIT TO BLENKO WAS LESS THAN JOYFUL.
THE TRIPPE GLASS COMPANY IS NO LONGER WELL MANICURED OURTSIDE AND THE INSIDE IS DUSTY AND DISORGANIZED.
ONLY ONE CASHIER WITH TEN OR MORE CUSTOMERS, SHE WAS OLD AS ME AND HAD SOME MOBILITY ISSUES.
PERHAPS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WOULD BE WILLING TO WORK AFTER SCHOOL?
SOME GLASS SHELVES WERE MARKED WITH COLORS THIS I SAW AS AN IMPROVEMENT.
WE CONTINUE TO COLLECT THE BLENKO MADE BEFORE 2000 WE WILL NOT AGAIN PURCHASE NEW GLASS. THE HEART AND SOUL OF BLENKO LEFT AND NOW THE TRIPPE GLASS COMPANY RUNS WITH AN INFUSION OF MONEY AND ENERGY FROM PA. BUT LITTLE OF THE LOVE AND COMPASSION OR JOY IS LEFT IN THE HEARTS OF EMPLOYEES OR THE PUBLIC.

Encourage people to doante their WV Glass and art work to HMOA.
Its local most every thing is free
and a resource for our children.

Mountain Rita,
Lawyers have a reputation of being nasty - - you are a junkyard dog.
Lighten up. Katy Trippe is l/2 your age and has a Bachelor degree from Marshall. Given this and the position she was put in, well she's doin a remarkable job.

Mountain Rita, you are offensive and ugly. I don't know why you bother going into Blenko if you dislike it so much. The VC is clean and well organized. There have been many compliments on it from people who appreciate the company. I would like to suggest that the next time you go into the Visitor Center, you introduce yourself to the staff. I'm sure they would like to know who you are, as they already know you are in the Blenko bashing business. The lady who is 'old' like you and has mobility issues would appreciate meeting you, I'm sure.
