    I, too, started in high school. My senior year was the first time a
    jewelry class was offered. It conflicted with a choir class for
    which I'd auditioned. Let me say I'd been a regular student in the
    art department, which is probably the only reason the teacher allowed
    me to "take" the jewelry class as independent study while he was
    teaching a sculpture class. An amazing opportunity. I had full run of
    the equipment without other students getting in the way, and often
    stayed after school to put in more time. 

    When I got to college and took another class, it was OK, but not
    nearly as much fun or as stimulating as that high school experience.
    The next wonderful experience was a sort of apprenticeship with a
    jeweler who had a workshop in his home and did repairs for several
    jewelry stores in town. He was incredible. So much knowledge, so
    willingly shared. Thanks James Cook.
