Paul DeSomma: When I got there in ‘86, there were two new buildings that were just being—coming online on the Pilchuck property and that was the big new cold shop—cold working facility and another large building that we called the studio building where classes were held. And that consisted of some kilns on the—on the ground floor, work tables, and kilns on the main floor, and at that time Cappy [Catherine] Thompson was what we called the Studio Building Coordinator, so basically, whatever classes were being held in there, you know, she was responsible for the facility and getting them set up and giving them a place to work and, you know, making sure everything was—was going—going fine. I think Cappy taught some classes there as well too, she’s a quite a skilled painter on glass, and I got to know her—yeah, got to know her during those couple of years when she was still working there and then after Cappy stopped doing that job it was Roberta Eichenberg who stepped in for few more—a few seasons after that.
