Pete,

Are you the "Pete" of Pete and Linda, or does Linda's spouse (or whoever) have the name Pete as well?

I am Pete of Linda and Pete. Just a brief history... once upon a time there were two people who drove up the prices on Ebay competing for putz houses.They drove each together crazy! One thought that the other one was a rich antique dealer from California and the other thought the competition was a rich New Jersey housewife! As the lord calculated we needed to work together we learned, after 7 years, that we lived on fifteen minutes from each other. We are now the best of friends and cohorts in solving many of the Japanese artisan's secrets. Collectively we may have well over 5000 houses. It's a small world!
