By Chris Flood

Ron Parks hadn’t intended on taking 11 years and 222 days to finish making his replica of a Tiffany lamp, but he did. There have been obstacles and life challenges, but there’s never been a loss of interest, he said. The lamp, now prominently displayed on a desk in his living room, is a replica of...
