We should copy the HVAC and or the mass merchant Trade Shows...... we might
as well make our new brothers in the (gas) Hearth Field feel at home.

Hey Rod Poplarchick-
Thanks for the kind words.  Don't worry, you'll see me again, as will the
rest of the Hearth professionals in California.  My flame still burns strong.
As for your question in reference to pellet hopper mantels look on page 811
of your AES catalog.  You can choose a variety of tile colors and wood
finishes.  Contact me or call AES directly.
Best Regards,
Jay Hanson

As we all talk about our reactions to the HPA show, I'd like to add just a
few.
 
The education sessions are excellent, perhaps the most important part of the
show for many of us. Some of the sessions lend themselves to the amount of
time given, but some need much more time. I was able to attend just two
sessions,  The House As A System and What About Chimneys; neither was long
enough to do the topics justice. I want to learn more, but, like all of you, I
find myself too busy to study on my own.
 
There are many people who aren't able to attend the show, but could benefit
from the education sessions. The video courses have begun to address the
situation, but more could be done.
 
I'm curious to know if there would be any interest in distance education
courses (from correspondence, to video, to interactive television to
interactive, on- or off- line computer courses) to give a little structure to
those of us who would like to learn more. The cost to develop distance
education courses varies with the type of course and the subject matter, but
something could be done at a reasonable cost. Note what we can learn just
using the Hearthlist Digest.
 
Thanks to all for making such a great show.
