Excellent list, Bobbi!!
A couple of edits...
Alison T is Alison Tolsen, I believe. Mr. Archer is now Ben. (His
father was A.R.)
Matthew Hester is the bobbin turner, his wife Jenny is the one who does
the wonderful pyrography.
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).
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'd be interested in knowing who is still making bobbins, and who is
retired.

Good morning! I did this list mostly for my own amusement but it seems
that I've been doing this for a long time! ;-)
Here are the ones that I can think of off the top and what they do.
Feel free to add too or comment. I'm sure that I've left out a ton!
Back to trying to think of more.
