HARRY DAVIS and his wife May have sent a letter to Ruth Meachan telling
about their activities of the past year. Asmanyof you know Harry and
May left their well-established pottery in New-Zealand and moved to
Izauchaca, Peru. Harry made many friends throughout Canada when he gave
workshops on a taur some years ago. Perhaps we could have this letter
printed in the Western Potter.
