I think there's another leather worker that a few have used since Jerry pulled in his horns, but that's about all I know. Let's hope that whoever has had dealings with him spills the beans.

Thanks went to the saddle shop this am the man did some repairs a few years back closed up gone retired so many great people are retiring getting out but no one has been trained to do their great jobs called the man that did beautiful refinishes George he retired 6 months ago Jerry retired another great person that knew how to do his job and looked beautiful when he was done very sad all their great knowledge in doing what they enjoyed and did best. Do they even have shoe makers any more i will find out good luck to all the great people out their enjoy!!!!����
