INDEX: August 2014
This issue we present Steve Anneker’s techniques in natural stone and quartz refinishing, which has our personal endorsement as the most effective, easiest to use professional polishing and scratch removal system available to the stone industry. With the Hopkins County Jail story, we present a first for the Slippery Rock: reporting on an innovative use of industry training used to help guys turn their lives around. Please do not miss our tribute to Tennessee Treasure Julie Warren Conn, University of Tennessee grad and internationally recognized stone sculptor, whose work was already legendary when I passed through the sculpture program on my way to a BFA in Communication Design, in 1982. We always strive to present the best advice we can, direct from the experiences of your colleagues in the industry, and are pleased to present two new writers presenting advice on successful strategies they have applied within their own shops. I hope you enjoy our collection of wit and wisdom, and as always, if your shop is doing something interesting – we would like to hear about it.
