Next, Dick Bright of Corning tells us the result of the Dimitroff lottery at 94 West Antique Shop that took place during the Symposium
Linda from 94 West called today and wanted me to let the club members know the name of the winner. His name is Richard Keeney. He is a local Corningnite and it is his first piece of Carder Steuben. He was thrilled to get it.

She also noted that the raffle was Tom Dimitroff’s idea and that he donated the Ivory Grotesque.

Then to the lead title. See the following link for pictures from the Banquet at this year’s Symposium. Picture credits go to Susan Shovers, John Styler & Jeanette Little–plus one other person who I apologize for losing the name in the wave of e-mails.
