Whoops! Thanks Jack for picking up on my unfortunate spelling mistake, I am
not the worlds best at spelling and usually write letters with a
dictionary close at hand, recognising this 'shortcoming' ( had to refer to
the dictionary on that one).
I do know the difference between 'meet' and 'meat', sorry Janet! Problem
comes from replying to email late in the night when you are not fully
focussed, and then too tired to go back and read what you have written.
Anyway that's my excuse.
I agree with Jack, it would be a terrible loss to the ceramics
community, as Janet is a truly wonderful person who has contributed so
much to ceramics, not only in Australia but all over the world. Which is
acknowledged by Janet having been awarded the 'Order of Australia', for
her contribution to ceramics.
