Board Trustee Suffers Fatal Stroke
The Museum was deeply saddened to learn that Board Trustee Rick Glawson
passed away suddenly on the morning of March 10. Glawson was the owner of
Fine Gold Sign Company and Esoteric Sign Supply, Wilmington, CA, and was
recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities on glass decorating
techniques. His specialty for the last 25 years had been the restoration
of vintage glass advertising signs — especially those of the 1880-1910 era.
He was well known for his research and re-discovery of "lost art" signpainting
methods such as "angel gilding," knowledge which he gave freely to all who asked.
The tributes to him from the signpainting community can be found at:

and www.esotericsignsupply.com/.
