HI EVERYONE,
OUR GUILD MEETING WILL BE ON

JOE JOHNSON, ONE
OF OUR MEMBERS, COMPLETED ONE OF HIS SERIES ON “LACING AND SPLICING” LEATHER
WALLETS. HE EXPLAINED THE PROCESS WELL AND ALSO SHARED WITH US, IN THE 1940’S,
ONE OF HIS SOURCES OF INCOME WAS WALLETS, . HE MADE WALLETS FROM SCRAPS OF
LEATHER, AND SOLD THEM TO MAKE A MONEY. IN ALL, THE DEMO WAS VERY INFORMATIVE
AND WELL DONE, AND WELL PRESENTED.
DRAPER HAS BEEN
WITH OUR GUILD FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN YEARS, AND DOING LEATHER CRAFT FOR OVER FIFTY
YEARS. HE HAS INFORMED US HE WILL BE RETIRING FROM THE PITT POUNDERS TO PURSUE
HIS OTHER LOVE IN HIS LIFE, PHOTOGRAPHY. HE HAS SPECIALIZED IN PORTRAITS FOR
THE LAST TWENTY FIVE YEARS. LETS WISH DRAPER THE VERY BEST AND LET HIM KNOW HOW
MUCH HE WILL BE MISSED. IF THERE IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN REPLACING DRAPER AS
SECRETARY OF THE GUILD, LET ME KNOW.
