Vince,
Very cool. What gives me the willies though is when I'm
thumbing through an older Ceramics Monthly and unwittingly
run across a kiln add and see a kneeling Tony Clennell=20
grinning back at me!

The story behind Jonathan Kaplan's Paragon ad:
Jonathan Kaplan wrote a long post on Clayart several years ago
complaining about electric kilns. He mentioned his Paragons in
particular. I found the post fascinating, so I copied it and handed it
out at the Paragon office. I also spoke to Jonathan by phone.
Eventually, Jonathan's post resulted in improved kiln features. It took
awhile, but it happened. In the process, Jonathan became a friend.
If you ever have a complaint about a product, let the manufacturer know.
One time I wrote Clif Bar an email complaining that they replaced brown
rice syrup with cane juice. For awhile they were considering keeping
brown rice syrup, partly because of my email.
Sincerely,
Arnold Howard
Paragon Industries, L.P.
