In the last episode of Radio Chipstone, contributor gianofer fields introduced us to a
young woman named Ashley Kuehl. Kuehl inherited two pieces of ruby red, hand blown glass from her grandmother and was curious to learn more about them. Kuehl knew the glass was purchased in the sixties, maybe in Pennsylvania. In this episode of Radio Chipstone, fields calls on reinforcements to solve the mystery. Judy Kuehl lives in Michigan and is young Ashley’s mother. She spoke with fields over the phone.
