*  A Fourth Generation Family Business
 In 1976, Richard Deakin Blenko attained a business management degree from the Moore School and became the fourth generation to enter the family business.  In 1989, he published the book, Blenko Glass: 1930-1953, and founded the Blenko Glass Museum.  He has appeared on CNN, Fox (FX), SCETV, and 125 Public Television stations, and has been the topic of many national print articles.    For more than 100 years, Blenko glassware has been made using the same methods and tools that the master craftsmen in Europe used hundreds of years ago.  All workers at Blenko are trained on the job and perpetuate a 1,000-year-old tradition.  Exquisite color, skilled craftsmen, and creative designs have made Blenko famous in the ancient craft of handblown glass.  Blenko prides itself in paying particular attention to the forms and designs, which stay true to the tradition of handblown glass that are unique and inspiring.

This evening, the Moore School of Business honors our distinguished award recipients with an exquisite, handblown Blenko Glass vase.  We are extremely proud to become part of a tradition in which our most prestigious awards have been designed and produced by Blenko Glass Company and Richard D. Blenko, President.
