Review of Buckets of GoldThis is a quiet, personal profile of a woman with the unique and solitary passion for finding beach glass and washed up pottery. It puts us in touch with our individual needs to create and follow our idiosyncratic natures. Why not beach glass? Treasures are ubiquitious. |

Review of Buckets of GoldA lovely piece, nicely set up. A good thing to drop in anywhere any old time. The beauty here is not so much the actual subject as it is the quality of the attention Linda pays to the beach and the things she finds there. I would venture to say an especially good piece for landlocked stations on a quiet no-news day. |

Review of Buckets of Gold
The human spirit is amazing. What one person finds irresistible, another will ignore. Lu Olkowski has created a piece that showcases Linda Stanley and her passion for sea glass. It is always wonderful to hear a person speak about something he or she loves to do - the voice rises, the intensity increases, details pour forth - the listener will hear all this in this quiet piece about searching for sea glass. Linda is so passionate about sea glass that she cautions that some sea glass is pulled from the ocean too soon. If it is too rough, it should be thrown back to be polished some more. This piece is polished and would fit in anywhere. I wish I lived by an ocean.
