Max’s Legacy

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Max Erlacher. I knew Max and Kitty for over thirty years and was honored to have them as friends and colleagues. One of the Erlacher’s many contributions to the world of Carder Steuben collecting for both the Friends of Carder and the Carder Steuben Club were plates engraved by Max for each Symposium. In memory of Max, I am going to contribute the Green Jade plate shown above to this year’s auction. It reads “Steuben Glass Symposium -The Rockwell Museum – 1995”.

I believe that this was the last Symposium held under the auspices of the Rockwell Museum and the Friends of Carder. It was at that Symposium that I proposed the formation of what became the Carder Steuben Club.
