I'm a caller and a weaver. Ted Sannella's wife, Jean Sannella, was a master weaver (she had her master rating from the Weaver's Guild of Boston.) So between the two of them, you had a caller and a weaver <G> Likewise Steve Zakon-Anderson's wife Betty is a weaver (and a dance leader.) Becky Ashendon, well-known contra dance piano player, is also well-known weaving instructor in Western Massachusetts. (Her Vav Stuga offers great classes on Swedish weaving, including draw loom techniques.) I'm sure there are others, but these are just a few off the top of my head. Beth Parkes
