Thanks! That's a good lead. It would also explain why I didn't keep the
article--it may not have been in a scientific journal. I'll tell my
researcher to check this out too.

Monona,
Maybe I can help you narrow down the time frame for that Reader's Digest
article that cited the example of the kid getting sick from orange juice
stored in a lead-glazed pitcher.
My guess is between 1977 and 1979. I remember it was reprinted from
another magazine. I remember this because when the first article came
out none of my potter friends nor I had "Lead-Free" signs or cards when
we displayed our pots, and all of a sudden everybody was asking us if we
used lead. So we all made signs and after six months or a year, people
quit asking, so we put them away. Then a year or so later the article
was reprinted in RD and we all had to get them out again.
The reason I remember the dates is that at the time I was selling at the
Pike Place Market in Seattle, where we only got a 4' wide table each
day, so that "Lead-Free" sign meant one less pot you could put out. I
quit selling there at the end of 1979.
Thanks for your help,
Paul Lewing

Cindy and Monona,
I remember it as being from Reader's Digest, too, and it was perhaps at least
20 years ago. I remember it as a mug, but a pitcher makes more sense since
the juice would have been stored it.

That's a great story in itself!! Thanks muchly. I'll past that on to the
researcher.
Are you still in Seattle? I have to lecture in Vermont this weekend, then
I'm home a couple of days and then on to Seattle! I'm seeing some industrial
hygiene VIPs on Thursday, May 4 and lecturing Friday, May 5 on the hazards of
working on terracotta clad buildings for contractors, architects, and masons
who restore historic sites. Its at a place called the Arctic building
somewhere near the Roosevelt hotel. I really like Seattle and am looking
forward to it.
By the time I come home, that article will be in my "inbox" now, I'm sure,
thanks to you and some of the others. Thanks.
