John,

Your expierience probably goes back farther than anyone on this forum. Please start a thread telling more about yourself and the way things were done in the 1930's - 1940's. How did you get your start and training and what types of engraving did you do? Also what is your take on the state of the art today.

Thanks,
Roger Bleile
