Greg taught me

How to shoot spitballs with my tongue in Mr. Jone's freshman science class.

How to launch butter pads with a fork.

How to roll paper into a dart so you could blow it through a piece of conduit and do serious injury to ornamental oranges and small, cute animals.

How to take little flat rocks between the tips of you index fingers and shoot them so that they spin and make a ricochet sound.

These skills have made me the center of attention at parties and helped in job interviews.

Thanks, Greg

How lucky we were, to be among such talent. You guys bring back the memories, they make me smile. By the way Larry, did the job interviews these antics helped you with involve face paint, a big red nose, a little car, and elephants

No, Jerry, those kinds of superfluous props are not needed in serious engineering interviews.  They'd think I was crazy or something.

Did I mention that Greg's been on retainer as a weapons expert with the U. S. military since he was five and has consulted with NASA?

Amazing guy, whod a thunk our little buddy would go so far. NASA, it does sound a bit spacey  :0)

I for one have found a wide array of uses for all of those childhood/teenage talents.  It is called academics and research.  We are kids in adult bodies who hide in the ivory halls because the bigger world is too scary.  We just play!!!! and call it work.

Hi Elson -- you prob. don't remember me well, but I thouht I would tell you something about your Dad that I remember.  I was in the Girl's Club in the 5th and I think 6th grade and we went to Camp Tontozona.  Your Dad was in charge among other things of reverie and taps since he played the trumpet.  He had to be gone a couple of days so he came to me and said, 'I understand you play trumpet'.  'I need you to play while I'm gone'.  I told him I didn't play very well and was kind of nervous about it, but he assured me that I would do just fine.  I was scared, couldn't hardly get a note out the first time, but it turned out ok.  All the girls really liked Tiny.

I see that Greg is still trying to get rid of all those bowls with cracks in them.  And being a Scot, he tries to charge MORE for the ones that are broken!  Tries to convince people that bowls with holes in them are more valuable than good, solid bowls.  Or, he tries filling the cracks with rocks or coffee grounds.  Probably not even Starbucks, either.  Go figure.

Greg

we think your bowls are beautiful. The cracks give them character. Whether you use turquoise, coffee grinds, or whatever to fill your crack with, it looks good. ( that doesnt sound right does it).  Larry, if you want a tub without cracks ,buy Tupperware.  hee hee
