Just got back from a road trip to Minneapolis, visiting museums and
such. Had a great time. Contacted Mel and was able to go out and
see him for the afternoon.

Everything that's been said about Mel is true. He generously opened
his studio up to me and gave me a tour. Got to see a lot of wonderful
pots, but most important, talk to a wonderful potter. Thanks Mel for
taking the time to show me your studio.
