EDITOR'S LETTER ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– LETTER TO THE EDITOR ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– our Wage Study story in Business Tip. Input and feedback are wel- come! Finally, our Hot Topics section addresses the next generation of tile setters. Thanks to Dave Clark over at the Global Tile Posse Facebook Group, an interesting discussion recently ensued about teaching offspring the trade - how early do you start, what kinds of tools do you let them use, and the like. Drop in and see how knowl- edge of our trade is being passed on to the next generation. We’re right on the cusp of sum- mer. What major projects do you have on the roster? We’re always looking for great case studies with before/after photography, so if you’ve got something you’d like to crow about, send it to me at the email below! God bless, Lesley lesley@tile-assn.com I really had a chance to sit down and not be rushed, and give the TileLetter publication my full atten- tion. I’ve got to tell you, I for one was taking the quality of that publi- cation for granted. That Coverings issue – that is gorgeous, clean, eye-catching colorful – on every level you hit the mark as far as providing a really compelling and attractive package. I just wanted to reach out and say thank you. That’s not happen- ing by accident, and I was amazed at the information you had in that issue and the way it was laid out, I just really enjoyed looking at it from cover to cover. Thank you for all you do to make such a wonder- ful publication available to our industry.
