Thanks for the kind words about my gums, Doug.

I found Bernie's last name--Bertridge, I think.  One lovely, organized 
woman, Susan Rochester, was sending around a signup sheet to take down 
everyone's email and name, so I would suspect she will have Bernie's email 
on it and we will all get it.

I told Bernie to immediately put his name to it, so he gets credit.  I 
remember that there was some boiling of chemicals in the process, but one of 
the chemicals was copper sulfate.

You are absolutely right about John Guider--I saw his prints and assumed at 
the beginning with the size they were that they were ink jet prints, and 
when he said platinum it was pretty impressive.

BTW speaking of John, his work used to be displayed at John Stevenson 
Gallery but apparently that gallery closed this summer ?!  Judy, you must 
have the poopy scoop on this.
Chris
