Dear Ross,
When I stumbled across your link on a glassforum to the bead videos, I was so excited! I could hardly believe it! You were so REAL and kind, I thought, to share your knowledge and FOR FREE! I'm a fair newbie, and I'll tell you what, I got a priceless gift from you and I'll never forget it-instead of showing off and actiing like a superhero, you helped me RELAX with the Glass. Your down-to-earth attitude and pleasant disposition, gave me the feeling that you were saying, "hey, you can do this. Don't be afraid."

As far as teaching me "bad habits", from what I hear, Mr. Smircich lays his glass on the rod in a pretty funky way. I don't know for sure, because with all the other start-up expenses there are getting into glass, I can't afford his videos!
Thanks, Ross. Seriously, I think you're really cool!!!!
