Yes indeed! We visited a local attraction -- Pearce glass blowing in Queechee 
Vermont this week - a small mom and pop operation compared to Corning -- and 
it's interesting to see 20-somethings making things from Molten glass, with with 
tools and glass blowing -- but wearing shorts and sandals and sneakers and 
T-Shirts, vs the safety coveralls and eye-goggles of Corning.
