His letter published in the November/December 1966 issue of AND OVER 50 CRAFT HORIZONS seems little more than a written version of a diatribe that burst forth at the Northeast Regional Conference of the ACC at Stowe, Vermont, last August. ACTIVE AGENTS Addressing myself to the specific article Ed chose to attack—the article by Bob Florian about Nick Labino [CRAFT HORIZONS, July/ August 19661—1 find that Ed Levin's deliberate failure to find useful TO SERVE YOU information both angers me and makes me suspect of his intentions. For the article devotes itself less to who Labino is, though identi- fying him as the most knowledgeable and authoritative individual THE BEST LOOM! participating in the current glass renascence, and more to what he is doing and has done with glass formulas, color development, tools, furnaces, annealing, annealing lehr, potential hazards, etc. f&t out,ßa It thus somewhat amazed me to read that Ed has failed to learn a "single thing that Labino knows" from the article in question.

Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kay Sekimachi dated April 16, 1995.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material.

The University of Notre Dame collection includes over 2,000 items of Eric Gill’s work: books, pamphlets, broadsides, prints, greeting cards, calendars, sketches, wood blocks, photographs, and other formats. The Gill Collection also includes many examples of the work by men who worked with or apprenticed with Gill (Hilary Pepler, Philip Hagreen, Joseph Cribb, David Jones, and Desmund Chute), most of the imprints of the Golden Cockerel Press (which produced The Four Gospels engraved by Gill), and an extensive selection of the output from Gill’s own St. Dominic’s Press. There are hundreds of fine art prints and over 100 photographs of Gill’s sculptures. The collection was acquired in 1965 from John Bennett Shaw (Notre Dame alumnus ’37), who purchased it from Evan Gill, Eric’s brother. Since 1965, the collection has been added to selectively. The collection has a large and interdisciplinary audience.
