Hi Ferd.,
Moments ago I had the time to view your entire web site and I must comment that the glass hobbyist as well as all of us who are members of the Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors are fortunate to have you among our ranks. Your site provides a stage or a setting to inspire individuals to expand their interests in glass objects and become more dedicated to advancing our hobby. I am most grateful to know and call you a close friend.
