Jack,
Of course I know Dan, He used to work at Creative Glass in SLC when
Ben Benedict owned it. Creative Glass and William R. Littig Stained
Glass were one of my first customers starting in 1979. Shortly after I
took on Creative as a customer Dan started working with them and
somewhere around 1985 went on his own. He's done some of the most
impressive sand carving I've ever seen, anywhere!
Cheers, Timothy Trent
