In an earlier Gazette one participant asked for observations on the state of the current market place for Steuben. We had only two responses sent out earlier. Anyhow, John Styler of Prospect Heights, Illinois sends his perspective on the current state of the glass world and investment world.

Look at Berkshire Hathaway class B, two years ago it was $5,360 and today $3,291, there’s a real investment.
