Trudy,
I love Whitefriars canes, and have a large collection.  Contact me at travischaudoir AT yahoo DOT com, and we can share our "need lists".   Your very lucky, you have a great start, and several that you have I have not been able to find.  I really think canes from all paperweight companies are just so wonderful, as a paperweight maker I must say that making the canes is sometimes more work than the paperweights.  It's just a very under rated art form.  Good luck in your search, Travis

Good to hear from you Travis.  How are you getting on post accident?

Alan,
The hand is painful but slowly getting a little better.  I cut three nerves and a tendon, and I may need another surgery in a year to restore more movement to my thumb.  I was so sad that I had to cancel Wheaton, I was looking forward to meeting you and many others in person.  I had big plans for 2010, but it looks like I won't be working with glass until 2011, I guess that makes lots of extra 2010 signature cane.   I hope all is well with you and your faimly.  Travis
