The folks were just re

12、ally good, hardworking people. ”By the80s, however, the old neighborhood changed. Due in part to economic downturns and drug abuse, well -kept homes had been abandoned and kindly neighbors had fled to the suburbs(郊區(qū)). But not George. “Living in any city, its like being in a relationship,” he told Re

13、aders Digest. “Some days are better than others. But it was my home. And when I saw it becoming worse, I had two choices: I could leave, or I could stay and fight. I chose the latter.”When the abandoned home behind his turned into a worn-out place, the father of two grabbed some boards and nails and

14、 began boarding up the house. After two neighbors stopped to ask what he was doing, they decided to help, with great results.Thats how it all got started.

The most

21、difficult cut in stained glass is called an inside cut. Basically, its a curved (彎曲的) line where you throw away the part inside of the curve. The problem with inside cuts is that the edges of the curve tend to break off when the pieces of scored glass are broken apart.As the artist talked about insi

22、de cuts, he said, “The glass will break into pieces if you try to cut too much off at once. The best way to do an inside cut is to slice off smaller curves piece-by-piece. In fact, its not just the best way to do it, but its the only way to do it.”How many times do you try to make a big change and c
