Well, the award is gone but the memories of that trip are still intact.
Yesterday one of those wind-gusting, fast moving, torrential rainstorms blew in. No power outage, no trees lost but sadly a memento gone. At the 1993 Puyallup, Washington ARBA Convention we were given HLRSC Year End awards. They were beautiful thick turquoise green slag glass about 10x6x5, (not a small thing) inserted into a wooden base. On the front was melded a broken black Holland Lop with Mount Rainier above and in the background. Truly beautiful and a nice memento of the place where the award was given. A silver pen inked the winnings across the bottom. I'd meant to see if it could have had a lead frame made around it to hang in the window but the slag glass was so dense the light wouldn't have penetrated it. And it would have been very heavy to hang. It was sitting on the guest bedroom's window sill. A huge gust came in and smashed it to the floor, breaking it into too many pieces to repair.
Well, the award is gone but the memories of that trip are still intact.
