Honesty

" It is not the oath that

makes us believe the man,

but the man the oath." Aeschylus

Last evening while playing board games and talking about life with a large group of friends , my thoughts turned to glass - I thought of HUNT STUDIO in Pittsburgh, Pa. ,http://www.huntsstainglass.com/. , Blenko Glass, Milton, WV http://www.blenkoglass.com/ Franklin Art Glass in Columbus, Ohio http://www.franklinartglass.com/ . As a young child I started making regular trips to Blenko and Franklin Art Glass. The men at these companies always speak the truth, I knew this as a child, and as an adult I now realize how unique in the business world it is to have a

business that is so honest and truthful in its public dealings. Hunt Studios I didn't know until recently, however, one has only to step inside the door and you know this is a place where

people know about 'living truthfully'.

We all grew up hearing " let your conduct be marked by truthfulness in word, deed and thought." As I age I realize that honesty is a glue that holds society as we know it together.
