If I recall correctly she was discussed here as being the good friend of Claud Butler. Seems I recall she had a shop or perhaps several and perhaps sold frames bearing her name, but it wasn't clear if she actually built frames herself. I'm sure it was one or more of the UK members who posted the previous information about her. Maybe they can refresh our memory.
