It has been a sad few days digesting the tragic way such a truly kind and gentle spirit with such a wonderful light could just be extinguished! I pray his transition was peaceful. Now I must put that part behind me and focus on Les, so this morning I took a walk down to the old house, I had to cut a black locust limb that came down in a wind storm last week. As I passed by the old house I gazed upon ( as I have done many times)Les‘ old pile of bricks for his kiln. I used a small portion of them many years ago on road fill. I actually can still see 2 or 3 on the road right below the house.

    I still have 1 Bowl and 1 Vase from Les and should Les‘ daughter Rose ever want them they will be here for her, they are both so beautiful and heavy duty pottery.

   After cutting that locust limb, I got busy setting up a memorial in front of the old house, I stood up a 75 lb. rock, around the rock are 2 different kinds of brick from the kiln. I also found 3 cast iron window weights to complete the memorial. ( I thought we used all of those window weights for beer?) apparently a few got away from us! lol.
