Just to set the record straight for those who may not know, Blazek's neon
school in Wisconsin is not the same as Paris School of Neon, which was in
Kansas and run by Per Walin, and is no longer.
I know Ed DeZuzio (on this list) came from the Kansas school and had a
different (positive) experience, and hey, while we're here, let's have a
show of hands for who went to what school where, and what they thought of
it? Seems like I'm outnumbered by self-learners on this list... which I find
slightly ironical since self-learning has been my approach to most things,
like car repair and house remodelling (yeah, so it shows, don't rub it in...).
