Jamey is much, much appreciated here. His commitment seems infinite. He really has been doing this as long as he says he has, being a founding member of the N. California Bead Society back in 1977, after perhaps 10 years of a passionate interest in beads at that time. So Jamey's career in beads predates the internet by some 28 years. He is the bead researcher who has chosen to be the most accessible via the net, and we surely appreciate it. When considering the time to make his posts here, added to the doubtless hours of private on-line assistance he gives to many, what can I say, but Thank You.
