I have been on the Orchid forum before but have been absent for the past couple of years while I relocated from Houston,tx to Fort Smith Ar. I have been a professional jeweler for about 30 years and have worked for major corporations, small mom and pop stores and have even had my own studios and gallery. As of this moment I work for an independent jeweler in Fort Smith Arkansas. I am looking forward to rejoining the orchid forum and restablishing some of my old contacts here. I have missed the open and enlightening discussions on this forum. Look forward to seeing you all again.; -
