Well, Chuck, now I'm really amused.
I sure hope you were successful in gaining access to JSTOR's site.
It would seem only appropriate that you be deemed qualified to access
your own article there.
Come to think of it, I believe I
can relate to such a situation, in a straight sort of way.
And as a perfect comment-upon-a-comment, sculpter Ed Hamilton may enjoy an occasional glass of Old Grand Dad with you, but Ed Hamilton (I'm
guessing this is a different Ed Hamilton, but now I'm not so sure) is also considered one of the world's leading experts on rum. Like you, he writes books and articles, and does some speaking appearances. Unlike you, though, or I or anyone else I know, he doesn't do this out of Chicago, or Cincinnati, or even Puerto Rico. He lives on his sailboat, drifting around the Caribbean like Jimmy Buffet without a band to support.
Oh, the poor homeless man.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ed earlier this year at Bill Owens' American Distillers' convention in Indiana.
We talked about rum and Barbados.
He didn't mention anything about his sculptures.
I really like the bronze Oscar Getz piece a lot.
