At the 1978 NCECA/Supermud there was an audience of 2300 ceramicists.
The coughing was eerie. I quit smoking two years after that-cold turkey, no
patch. Just a visit from Kurt Weiser to my home. He said he quit when he was
ranting to a gallery owner sucking hard on a cigarette.
He thought the madder he got, the harder he sucked. That p** him off
at the gallery owner so much that he quit smoking. He thought "why should he
let the gallery owner cause him to suck harder smoking. He quit! I quit right
after that due to his story. Whatever it takes.
The coughing at the NCECA 1978 really was a realization when they discussed
lung cancer among irritated lungs (smoking).
I didn't notice any smoke at NCECA but I did not go to the dance. I haven't
been to an NCECA dance since San Diego.
