Alan, I agree with you.

It wasn’t like they had a better show wanting that time slot.

Our first visit to the show was most confusing.

It cost us more to attend the show and events as a guest than attending as a dealer.

The next year and subsequent years we returned as dealers and it was cheaper! Heck, we even sold marbles!

Wheaton did everything to thwart visitors from attending.

Poor attendance resulted in poor sales.

My wife and I are fully employed engineers. We didn’t need the marble sales income. Whereas, the full time artists needed to recover expenses. Some traveled from California! It broke our hearts hearing the grumbling.

Wheaton managed the program into a death spiral. Shame.

I cherish the memories and friendships.

Do you remember Harry making his sonar sound into the microphone during his demonstration? “Boop, boop, boop, boop”?

He also talked about encasing the cobalt glass in the crystal and was worried about contamination of the clear.
