	Since 1914... John B. Denson learned the trade of glass cutting, repairing and engraving at J. Hoare and Company at the age of fourteen. He also worked for Hunt Glass and O.F. Egginton Company. From 1922 - 1935 he worked for Steuben Glass in Corning, NY. At that same time he opened his own cutting shop in his home until he died in 1957.

Roy W. Denson Sr. remembered watching his father John working on glass in their home. He began work at Corning Glass Works in 1936. He soon became a worker in the Steuben division of the company. He started as a "take in boy" and worked up to being a master glass blower. After his father died he continued the glass repair business in his cellar. He then started making jewelry from old Carder glass. Roy continued his business until diabetes forced him to retire in1988. He died ten years later.

Paul R. Denson can remember  watching both his grandfather and father working on glass as he was growing  up.  Beginning in 1974,  his father began training  Paul and  his  brother-in-law  Harold J. Rose  in the  skills  needed to  run a  successful business.  R  &  B  Denson &  Associates  was established  in  1982  and  does  repair  for companies worldwide.

Our fourth generation has entered the glass industry. Harold's son Jason Rose is working as a glass blower for Vitrix Hot Glass Studio in Corning, New York.
