Hello Anne,

First of all a great big "Hurray" for you, Chris Scott and compatriots=20
who have decided to make this happen. Couldn't agree more. The only=20

negativists rule. New Orleans can be recovered ... when folks like=20
Chris insist that it will be!

A question. The notice below says "and many of the shows are still=20
scheduled and proceeding". Can you elaborate a bit? What is meant by=20

spectacular demonstration of raku firing and "painting with oxygen". =20
Definitely an outdoor activity and crowd pleaser.

Thanks , Bob
