Thank You to the Hall Family!

  CM Glasses

We'd like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to Cinnamon Hall, Natasha Hall, Isaac Hall and Erik Hall for the donation of seven crystal wine / drinking glasses that originally belonged to the Conrad  family.  The items were donated in memory of Dale Andrew Hall.  

 

They have been a treasured possession for the Hall family as his children have fond memories of him filling the glasses with different levels of water so he could make them sing.   Mr. Hall had purchased the glasses from a yard sale in the mid to late 1970's because they bore the Conrad insignia and now his family would like the pieces returned to their original home.
