I have a bit of Santa Cruz history in my barn...the old sign from "BRUCEY'S STAINED GLASS STUDIO" that was located in Soquel. Seven or eight years ago the studio was sold to a fish market. My wife was shopping at the Veggie Stand next door when I noticed the sign on a trash pile. The fish market gave me permission to take the sign home. Brucey (his last name) was something of a master in his craft. I took a class from him at Cabrillo Jr College, Aptos Ca around 1973. I remember that he had learned his craft in Ireland as a young man. As a journeyman his work included repair and rework of some of the glass in the Winchester Mystery House, Santa Clara. I remember him in his late 50's maybe in his early 60"s. I was saddened to hear that he had passed on sometime in the late 70's or early 80's. Cancer as I remember. Anyhow I have his sign if someone is interested. It's still in pretty good shape, it looks as if it were carved from a piece of clear redwood or cedar, 5 or so ft long, 2 1/2 ft high and maybe 2" thick. Send me email as I won't be visiting this site again.
