    I just wanted to clarify the fact that Dale Chihuly was a
    glassblower; he knew what was possible when blowing glass. He had an
    accident - after making his reputation - which left him without the
    use of one eye. He decided for safety reasons (his own and that of
    his team) not to continue blowing glass but to direct the team. I
    guess this makes him a modern Renaissance Master....
