LETTERS

From the Prince George Potters’ Guild
comes the following letter of gratitude to
Len Fatrey and Tam Ireing for a fob well
dane.

Dear Jan:

On October 25th “Choosing Clay* was to
open alt the Prince George Art Gallery.
Tam Irving was coming to open the show
and was invited todo an accompanying
workshop, which included firing the gas
kiln which he had built a decade before.
That Friday afternoon, Tam went to
have a look at the unloaded kiln, and,
after a long pause, announced that the
arch was in poor condithan and needed
to be rebuilt. At 4:25 pm on Friday, Tam
Was on the phone long distance to Len
Fatrey asking for the necessary bricks to
be in Prince George the next morning
(tem hours by car} to complete the re-
building of the arch before Tam's plane
left.

We were all astounded when yes, the
bricks did arrive by 8:30 the next
morning. Our Guild extends an appre-
clative thanks to Len Falrey for provid-
ing outstanding last minute service, and
to Tam Irving for working in temperatures
near -20 C bavithout gloves), The pottery
community pulled together to produce a
very suceessful weekend. Thanks Len
and Tam!

Yours truly,
Wendy Girard
