When I visited Francisco Cuevas's shop during the winter of 1983-1984, there was another fellow there who was working as an apprentice. (Not his son, who was working there as a painter at the time.) My recollection is that he was paying Cuevas for his tutelage. He was a retired police officer or fireman, so he had the time and funds to finance this sort of educational experience. Could this kind of arrangement work? (This assumes, of course, that there are other people around who are willing to pay for this type of educational experience.) Or is it still too much of a burden for a small operation? Regards, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
