Hi Jerry and Orchidians;

    Thanks for supporting my opinion, but as I read it, an idea flew by
    on little pink wings.  It's just an idea . . but . . . what if we
    could get a small confluence of Orchid jewelers together, at some
    agreed central location (too late for Tuscon) and do some sort of
    weekend workshop about selling and doing custom design? For fun, for
    free, eh?  I've been doing custom work, both the design and
    manufacture and the selling and pricing since I worked at Wasserman
    Custom Jewelers in 1989 (long since closed down).  I'm doing custom
    work all the time, and I still sell a couple custom pieces a week for
    my local accounts even though I work in my own shop as a wholesale
    trade jeweler.  I know there are a lot of others like me here on the
    forum.  I'm sure we could get a nice panel of experts together and
    match them off with newbies and have a great time doing mock-up
    custom sales, or heck, maybe advertize the event to the public and
    actually sell some real stuff, donate a bunch of money to Orchid. 
    Any takers?  I'll do it for the fun of it, as long as I don't have to
    spend a ton of money to go somewhere, since I don't have squat these
    days (typical for a CEO of a new business to get about 1/2 what
    they're worth on the open market, or so I tell my wife).
