Thanks for that info Dave.

I was wondering if he was related to John Hine. I had seen that name on the bottom of the one David Winter Cottage we have, and I read somewhere that Bill was once the U.S. sales rep for David Winter. I was figuring there was a connection somewhere.

By the way, does anyone know how many artists Y&A employs? It is remarkable that most pieces look basically alike, like one person sculpted them all. But I would have to believe that that would be impossible, what with the number of new pieces each year and the several year lead time for a piece.

Inquiring minds want to know....or do I need to come to the chat for the answers?
