Yes, major changes. Ann Arbor, hmmm...I've been waitlisted, and I'm pretty far down the list, so I'm looking at other shows that time of year. We might see each other sooner, though. I've applied to Summerfair, in Cincinnati, and I saw that you do it too. Of course, I may not get in. I've been rejected by some pretty middling shows this year already. Hi John,

I didn't know you had a retail venture going at your studio. I hope I'll see you in Ann Arbor again? It'd be nice to see your latest. Meanwhile, it's nice to see that I can keep up with your newest clay ventures through this blog. It's nice to know it's here. Regards, John Bauman Hi Richard,

Your very flattering comments are appreciated! I hope the teaching works out for you. It is nice to have some steady income (what do I know about that, though?), although when I taught in the past I always found it hard to spend time on my own work. As for your generous offer to stay, watch out! I am thinking of a southern trip in November, for a gallery opening and a couple of shows, and was actually thinking of visiting Penland for the first time. Shane, you’re welcome!

I fortunately took on some part time teaching so i have that for the spring and fall semesters, they actually just put me in for full time, which i dont know if i want? would be nice for a few years, maybe more if benefits would help with some kind of retirement account? Iknow we potters dont retire but not worrying about money after say 65 would be nice. anyway if you ever head down to the penland area let me know, you got a place to stay. shane richard,

I don't think she does email, so if you want to email me privately with contact info (phone # perhaps) I'll pass it on to her. Thanks for reading! Richard John,

I went to RIT many years ago (1970-1974) with a Dee Dee Topham and was wondering if it could be the same person. I have not seen or heard from her in a long time and would love to get in touch with her if it is who i hope it is. Tell her Wernini is trying to contact her and I'm sure she will remember me. She can e-mail me if she likes if it's not too much trouble to give her my address..
