I am writing to you all to let you know that Les has not been in good health for the past seven months and has not been able to do any potting. He therefore will be unable to produce his normal 16-20 dinner sets for our Tozan Dragon Feast on April 12. We are hoping that he will be on the mend before long. I would like to ask each of you who are sending sets, please if you can, make an extra set for the Feast. Any help you can give in this line would be appreciated. Les and I thank you very much for assist- ing us. Best wishes to you all. Maureen Beardsley Tozan Firings for 2003 Spring Load March 21-22; fire March 23 to 309* Unload April 5.
