Impressive,stunning,breath taking,I was in shear awe. There is so much glass lying about it is just amazing if you love the old glass like I do.Doug Mooney was very friendly and approachable.Before I forget, I spoke to the lead historian of the project Ingrid Wuebber, I showed her a lot of my Dyott collection which I also made available to anyone that hung around after the formal gathering was over.She is very approachable and said to me if you want to show up next week to visit again I was more then welcome too.This goes for anyone for after Friday next week it is all filled in.You can see the workers sitting on their heavy machinery just waiting to back fill this property as most of them have been unemployed for a great deal of time and they could care less about the glass works.I dont have time right now to get into a whole lot of detail but this I know Dyott made every imaginable color.Clear,light aqua, dark aqua ,all shades of greens,all shades of blue, violet,amber,pink yellow and yes Rick I saw puce sticking out of the ground!!Rick you would be a star if you could bring your puce eagle flask, I could meet you next week pick a day.Sorry no weekends and the place shuts down at 3:30 sharp.

I wish I could go,I would let people touch it for a fee [8D][8D][8D]

When is the last day of the tour? Are the tours only during the week? no weekends?
