    Thank you for broadening our perspective on the work and character
    of John Paul Miller.  I, like others, may have formed my opinion, to
    some degree, from what others believed.  I met JPM in 1989 or maybe
    it was 90 and immediately took a liking to him.  He was very generous
    with his time as he and I discussed the direction my work was taking.
     I never formed a fixed opinion on the issue of whether or not he
    shared his information on granulation.  It was not of great concern
    for me.  He presented extensive examples of his art in a thorough
    synopsis of his life's work and we all came away with great respect
    for the accomplishments of whom we knew to be one of the seminal
    artists of our milieu.  It must have been a great privilege to have
    studied with such a master craftsman and teacher.  Thank you for
    contributing to our understanding.  I feel I now have the best
    possible information at least as far as this aspect of John Paul
    Miller is concerned.
