Paul Stankard: I was making beads, I called them healing beads. And I would give them—I gave all my beads away. And I gave a woman, a very pleasant woman, I gave her a healing bead. I said, ‘I want you to have this healing bead, it has magical powers.’ So I was giving a lecture a couple years ago at the Smithsonian, and she shows up with her bead. And I could—you know, it was like 30 years later or something. I don’t how long ago—’86, ‘96, ‘06. It’s almost—over 25 years later, she shows up. It was kind of—I felt honored.
