John Britt Letter
A  Handwritten Letter from the late John Britt

Dated December 11, 1995 (while we were still living in San Diego)

John had a keen sense of humor. Among other statements in his letter, this one is John at his best!

“I watched the Kansas-San Diego basketball game Saturday night. Kansas 101-San Diego 71. But, four of Kansas starters were from California. I've always liked sports and follow the games quite close. Lucile don't pay much attention to sports of any kind. She likes Carnival Glass though. That's what is important to me.”

I might mention that we recently found a 9” ICS bowl like the plate pattern shown on page 175 on the left hand side, No. 3027D-10” plate. Our bowl is in very pretty, good marigold with excellent iridescence. I'll bet there is a plate out there some where in marigold carnival glass. Do you know the name of the pattern?

Hope you both have a very good season for Christmas and New Year.
Best of Wishes.    John & Lucile Britt

Unfortunately, we had no name for the pattern! Perhaps one of you viewers have been successful in locating another marigold example and have created a name for the pattern?
