Hi Clay, === > Alison T is Alison Tolsen, I believe. === Yes! Thank you. I couldn't remember her last name to save me! === > Mr. Archer is now Ben. (His > father was A.R.) === Yep. Right again. === > Matthew Hester is the bobbin turner, his wife Jenny is the one who > does the wonderful pyrography. === I may be wrong but I believe that Jenny is his mother. I met them a few years ago in England. === > And the name Shirley Gates suddenly rang a bell for me. Is Gates > the person who had such beautifully turned colorful spliced bobbins? I
> know the bobbins I'm referring to weren't done by Malcolm Thorpe (who > should be added to the list). === Yes, she did some wonderful painting and he turned the bobbins. Then he got in to doing spliced bobbins. Not just the regular kind either! They were wonderful and unique. Good mention on Malcolm too. I couldn't remember his name either. Sad to get old... ;-) === > Other additions: > > David and Linda Stanley > Alan Hazal (Ashwood Turning) > Nick Perrin > John and Annette Pollare (Australia) > Fran Bloomer > Wally Burton (UK) bone > Agnes Boddington's DH === I know that Nicholas Perrin is or was turning for SMP. I believe that he is Russell and Shelia's son. I seem to remember that there was another turner? Russell? But he is not turning any longer. (this is all from the briny depths so don't take it as written in stone) I am enjoying this thread. Is there anyone out there with the computer savvy to put up a page with the info and photos? I personally would love to see it! I'd be happy to send photos but just don't have the know how to do it. Thanks all! bobbi ____________________________________________________________ 2011 Vehicle Clearance Dealers are Clearing Inventory http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4ca47ba01b18e115e6m04vuc - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
