In 1967 Cheech Marin came to Canada to avoid the draft. He had an =3D
interest in pottery at that time, and got a job working in Alberta as an =
=3D
apprentice for a well known Canadian potter named Ed Drahanchuk. In 1968 =
=3D
we bought a large Drahanchuk punch bowl set, which came with a couple =3D
dozen small cups. The cups are the kind of thing that an apprentice =3D
would have made, and I've sometimes wondered if we have been using =3D
Cheech Marin pottery all these years. =3D20
