------------------
Some previous e-mails had discussions about Rod's Bod. I'm writing to =
confirm
information from a previous writer that stated that it was named after Rod
Callahan. Other discussions said it might have been named after someone =
named
Butts. B-Mix was developed by Martin Butt of Albuquerque New Mexico. Hence=
the
name B-Mix.

I've been using Rod's Bod for 25 years. Back in the Seventies it consisted =
of
the following:

Greenstripe Fireclay
C =26 C Ball Clay
60 Mesh Sand
Silica
Feldspar
Magnetite.
