    Its so sad to see such great historical glass from a century and more ago die. It does not make a lot of sense to me. I know we discussed this before a while back. Its so sad to see a generation of people who grew up shuttered in their houses playing video games are simply not interested in antiques that define who we are as a nation.
    As I often said before, newer generations now are only interested in things that have keyboards or things that can be controlled by their phones.

    I was at the Akro Agate convention this past week and like all clubs they are aging. A 2000 piece auction and most of it went cheap. However I did visit the Museum of American Glass in Weston WV and there were quite a few people walking around in there with apparent interest. Maybe a big part of the problem is people still being so uncertain of the economy? I really don’t know and maybe time will tell.
