[TheForge] Somewhat OT question...

[Chris Caswell]

There is a fellow in Richmond, VT, Mike Lemire, who is a 2nd or 3rd
generation upholsterer who specializes in exotic and antique car interiors.
He does very well.  He told me several years ago he was bored with it but
the money was too good to give up.
His phone is 802-434-3888.
