I went Huntsville Friday afternoon,, Had a friend , old student pick me up at
So Pittsburg.. Kathy my student was in the first class i ever taught , it was
in Huntsville Ala in 1972,, it was hand building,, Ursulla Vann was also in
the class, she now makes wonderfull ash glaze pots.. I hadnt seen Kathy for 30
+ years,

We stayed at Ursullas and we went to the Benefit for Arch at about 7 PM.. The
food was great and Arch was there wearing a mask and also we could not shake
his hand or even hug him.. The house filled up quickly,, I was told there were
200 people showed up.. it was a great time and it sure was great to see Arch
..

Arch is going thru Stem cell stuff,, its way over my head so i cant say to
much about it.. ITS COSTLY, thats what i do know

He is making pots again ,,
