I saw something with milky glass panels sort of on the sea green 
aquascape color palate on the WSH a little while back. Would never have 
thought it was a Gery design - actually thought it was a Gery knock-off. 
Liked the glass. It will be a pain to replace any that gets broken. 
Wondered how the hell they will rig to replace the sealants 10 yrs out?
