NOTES FROM SAM It's hard to believe but the Christmas season is upon us again. This is the time of the year when there dorsn't seem to be enough time to make another dozen plates and we measure time by number of kiln loads and hours. The consolation ts that after the dust settles (literally), we can relax and spend some time with family and friends and reflect on the personal highlights and accomplishments of the year, That ts the time 1 look forward to. It is on that note that | would like to wish everyone a merry Christmas and and happy holiday season. | would also like to thank the membership, the gallery staff, the board members for their support, and especially Jan for her patience and thoughtful suggestions. I hope to see you at our AGM and the Walter Ostrom workshop in January.
