Retiring CATS instructors

Just recently, I found out that two very experienced teachers at CATS are
retiring. Linda Reinmiller and Martha Beth Lewis will not be included in
the instructors for CATS 2006.

They both have been wonderful mentors (especially to a new teacher) and
women that I am pleased to be able to call my friends. They will be sorely
missed as part of the CATS experience. I wish them well in their future
needlework endeavors.

I haven't taken any classes with Linda Reinmiller but Martha Beth Lewis
is so full of great information she should be cloned so she could teach
several classes at once! I hope she will still write articles for Just
Cross Stitch since her articles are the main reason I still get that
magazine.

I don't know Linda Reinmiller, but I'm sorry to hear Martha Beth will
not be teaching there. Martha Beth has been an enormous amount of help
to me.

I knew Linda would not be back next year but I had not heard about Martha
Beth. I hope that for both of these teachers that this is just a temporary
time out and that they will be back with us in the future. I never took any
of Linda's classes but I took a couple from Martha Beth and enjoyed them.

PS: Phylis I really enjoyed the Yugoslavian weaving class I took with you at
Hershey. Amazing how something so simple can give such interesting results.

I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the Yugo project. It really is a nice
change of pace from following a chart, stitch by stitch.

I agree with the above to the extent of dismay and frustration. To date,
I have not been able to justify the trip to CATS that I sorely
wanted. I can only pine to the "someday..."
One point that I knew, I would want the chance to take classes and meet
Martha Beth. I adore her JCS articles.
Regardless, I wish her only the best in whatever she is looking for.

Martha Beth wrote articles for every issue of my "Journal of
Needlework". They were always well received and I appreciated her help.
Martha Beth, with her wealth of knowledge, has been a helpful mentor
to many of us.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Martha Beth and she *is* delightful.
She can have the rocking chair next to mine on the retirement home porch
any time!

I think she said she was having some health problems, so that may have
figured into her decision to retire. Of course, she could be another
Cher, who retires every couple of years and then comes back again.....
