    Has Satin Snow gone away?

    Has Satin Snow gone away?

    I ask because i was sympathetic to his effort,
    and I found two of his GGs in storage, never used.
    I feel guilty!
    .
    Has he quit?

    Thank you and Vinny for that. The fact marks a mile-stone of my inattention.

    My wife just gave me the package. Is from David S. Parker, a person we should admire for his effort. I cannot remember what his GG cost, but they were remarkable

    Again, I hope he is well and happy.

    He was quite a character and made some decent GG. Did the package still reek of tobacco smoke? His family tragedies still resonate in my mind. Have no idea what became of him but ave a vague collection that he passed. I might be wrong on that so dont repeat it.

    He made a fine 6.5 x 8.5-inch glass for me. My recollection is that he had to stop because of a mix of family and personal health issues - the story is probably somewhere in the APUG archive.

    No. No tobacco smoke. Each GG was carefully wrapped in tissue-paper. I have one unwrapped to memorialize him.

    I use one on a camera to memorialize Dave. If he doesn't need memorialization then consider it continued admiration.

    Wonderful. Thank you,

    I found his glass so very fine that my eyesight is not good enough to use it. That issue is for a separate thread, but it speaks to David Parker's perfection.
