Denise called me this morning with the news none of us wanted to hear. Guy passed away this morning. She asked me to notify the boards that the funeral arrangments and where to send flowers and such will be updated soon. She just wanted to thank us for our prayers. Guy, you will be missed by many.

I'll take a stab at this, please remember it is just my opinion. Certainly not to be taken as gospel. My thinking is that most of us collect what we know. As kids we played with the machine mades and that is what we know. I can say with certainty if there were any hand mades around I was never allowed to play with them. I don't know them, never have and probably never will. I just dont have any memories of playing with them. I dont even remember seeing any placed in the knick knack shelves at any of my aunt's house's that I could see or hold. It's a nostalgia thing with me, trying to go back to my childhood. One of these days I'll make it. LOL!!!!

Just for the record...... I have limeade's and lemonade's that do NOT flouresce. I'll bring them to Vegas. and a blacklight hahaha
