With the loss of Tony last week, combined with the temporary loss of four other trainers, we had to drop the Tuesday classes for the rest of the summer. Tony's death combined with another trainer dislocating his shoulder and is out indefinitely, one who has back surgery tomorrow, one who leaves the valley every summer, and one who had a stroke, we are down from nine to four teachers. So we can only provide classes two days a week now. We have two veteran teachers....myself and my friend Lori whom I taught to turn ten years ago, and one beginning teacher with about six months of turning experience, who worked with Tony on Tuesdays, and one brand new teacher who is a very beginning turner, but a very accomplished woodworker and a gifted teacher. Two of them are visually impaired, as well.
It has really set our program back! I will be on vacation for most of August, so we may simply have to close the shop for August.
I'm pretty discouraged right now.
