Thanks for the good read!
My interest in traditional folders is growing fondly, and I would like to think the part reason is because of these fine folks whom used to make them.

That's a shame! There is still one of two around though, so he wasn't the last as implied in the article

I did think that there were a few more (based on what I was reading occasionally), but since I am not keeping tabs on the births/deaths in Sheffield I could not comment.

Damn, that's sad news.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.
