Recently I've heard two different stories about this exact problem. Two specialized trades, two experts of their crafts about to retire, and two companies unsure how they'll replace them.

I wish I remembered more details about the experts themselves, I believe one was a specialized glass worker.

One of the people you might be thinking of is the glass blower who is retiring from Caltech.
