Lawyers are unpredictable except they usually end up with their hand in your
pocket. There was a young women who demonstrated artistic lamp making at
Quad State last year and I believe I discussed with her the liability issue
regarding her lamps. I think she said that she had a licensed electrician
wire her lamps and that placed any electrical failures in his ballpark. This
might make lawyers pee themselves with delight. :-)

The person with whom Roger spoke was probably Roberta Elliot who make dandy
lamps. One of her lamps, a floor model, was in the gallery at the 1996 ABANA
conference. I don't know her address, but she is a BAM member.

Roberta Elliot's address is: The Velvet Hammer, Rt.1 Box 212, Cobden, Il
62920.  Asked her when she was going to join the "net" she said her 
maximum leap into technology was a switch from a manual to electric 
typewriter.  Very nice person, and a terrific artist/smith. :-)
