Part of the 1025 mile one-way trip from north of Pittsburgh, Pa. with my show trampin' buddy Matt Grayson to the 2012 National included a stop at the farm of one Christopher Hedges in southern Misery near the Lake of the Ozarks. This was an unforgetable experience for me as the pieces that NIA #15 has accumulated over the years made me light headed. This ole' boy is as tight as a nuns hunt when it comes to givin' up an insulator but it is still an enjoyable experience to handle the rare pieces that he has accumulated thru the years including the collection of the late Jerry Turner. -- Pictured are two of the top porcelain collectors in the hobby today.
