I do not have an interest in the Steuben Glass after the FC Period.

Could the post Carder Glass be a division of the Carder Steben Club instead of an incorporation?

BUILDING “B”

Perhaps it is appropriate to remind folks that the Carder Glass in B-Bldg. is from The Rockwell Museum and not CMOG’s.

FRONT LINE EXPERIENCE

I concur with David Goldstein. I was one of those who agreed in our straw poll about including the new glass.

In the window of our antiques store we often have a new Mosser Glass cake stand in one of the trendy opaque colors and sizes they make. It is one of the only things that catches the eye of any of the under 40 crowd that parades down the sidewalks as they sip their fancy fruit drink. Then they might spy a sparkly rhinestone pin at our counter. This generation is SO not into most anything their mother or grandmother has…. or so they think. It is one of the few opportunities we have to introduce the next generation of glass lovers (or even ‘appreciators’) to our world.

It also reminds me of how our church tries to reach out to the next generation of believers. The music and worship style is not to my taste, but then we believe that our worship of God is not ALL ABOUT US! As long as it is not heretical and brings glory to His name we will bear with it for the salvation of the next generation.

And SOME day….some DAY they MIGHT actually run across a hymnal and marvel at all the wonderful songs in there! Well where did all these neat songs come from???

Perhaps in the same way today’s 30 somethings might come across a Gardner book.

Think of colorless Steuben as bait to hook 2030’s Steuben Club members.
