If you've been into FIG in the last twenty years or so, then you most likely have run into Teenuh. She has been an integral part of our business, usually away from the 'limelight' as she does the bulk of our commission work. She started as a student who showed great talent, worked for us for many years when we were a church window studio (with the window in The Ivory Tower a good sample of the kind of work we did), and now we just can't seem to get rid of her. Part of the reason is her generosity with her talent and time- she's the first to perk up her ears when she hears a customer with a design problem, and run out with an yellow Eagle #2 pencil to offer her advice and talent, or the first to have her coat on when she hears the beeping of a delivery truck backing up to our rear door.Teenuh's mother Betty Alison deJersey passed away on January 24, after a courageous battle with cancer. She wanted to pass on the following:
"I'd like to extend a resounding thank you for everyone's wonderful kindness and support over these past few difficult months (you know who you are Sam and Anja, and a huge hug to Louie and her Friday Class!). Ladies, stay up on your mammograms!'
