Hi Tom:
Finally!  Have been looking for an email for Dale and glad to know about
this newsletter.  I think I had one of the first looms Dale
built.  A 16 shaft, 60" Koa wood beauty.  Sold it for an AVL which was
not for me.  Still searching finally found Madelyn van der Hoogt
and fell in love with Drawloom weaving.  Have a combination Oxaback as
my primary now.

But also had a 36" J-Made that I sold and missed it so much finally
bought another one from Dale, 24" this time.  Then last year really
missed my big J-Made so Dale had taken one in trade and I have that
too.  The Oxaback is intense and I am a purist at heart so no
electronics other than a program that digitizes my pictures for me.  But
when I finish a project on the drawloom, I love to go to my
J-made and just enjoy the wonderful weaving it produces.  I can't
imagine weaving on anything else and have said so for many years
(about 20 I think).

Would enjoy receiving the newsletter and thanks a bunch for the info.
Always good to know about other weavers and what they are
doing.  I belong to the South Central Pennsyvania Guild that meets at
the Mannings in East Berlin, Pa.  My husband and I just moved
to Pa. last summer from Tacoma, Washington.

Have a great day!
