SATURN'S DAY SCHLITZ BLOGGING
near the end of my time at schlitz, we had a special big job doing some windows and such for bar areas of a st. louis casino. also at this time the main cutter, mike, in the middle was diagnosed with lung cancer. his brother david worked at schlitz in the office and did taping when we needed it. i started doing basic cutting on this job. we had to do about 16 of these windows. some square, some rectangle. almost like assembly line work. but damn, after this, my soldering and micheles was outstandingly good. we could whip it out in no time. might be mike's last window. he wasn't the best cutter, but his shades had good color touch. did execllent oriental poppies. just had to rind his more. but WAY better than best 'cutter' john. never had to fix a mike shade.
