DEAR VITROLITE LOVERS EVERYWHERE,

Aren't you glad I make my living restoring Vitrolite installations around the world instead of keeping my web site up to date! A new web master, young Marion Sudvarg, has joined our team of Structural Glass (Vitrolite, Carrara, Sani Onyx et. al.) preservationists. We hope to catch you up on Vitrolite happenings and keep the site fresher and more interesting than ever. Also joining the team since last I wrote are two other great additions, Ms. Geri Redden and Mr. Hank Falkenberg.

Ms. Redden recently retired from a long and illustrious career lecturing on the causes and cures for Family Violence. Geri has been married to me for 28 years and in that time we have worked out most of our issues so Geri can manage the Vitrolite Specialist, Inc. without too much interference from me.

Hank Falkenberg joins us as apprentice after many years rehabbing buildings in St. Louis. Hank has extensive knowledge in the tile installation field, a must for any Vitrolite installer. Mr. Falkenberg also thinks on his feet and as many of you know, that is crucial in figuring out how a particular Vitrolite job was installed and, therefore, how to take it apart and put it back together. Willie Crate continues, since 2000, to keep the warehouse organized and help on job sites.

IN THE FIELD

The last 2 years reminds me of the Country Song, "I've Been Everywhere." From The Rockefeller Estate in White Plains, NY to the Arroyo Canyon in Los Angeles, CA., from the Rivoli Theater in Cedarburg, WI. to the Master Cleaners in Oklahoma City, OK., Vitrolite Specialist has logged some miles in the last 2 years. Salvaging and reinstalling Vitrolite is still our main focus but consultations and selling glass to do-it-yourselfers continues to grow.

Once again, THANK YOU for your support, encouragement and business!
