Sal at one time was part of Macri-Weil company (seen at PofA fest way back in 1970) There was a parting of the ways Jim Weil has a collection of about 50 figures at the "Puppet House Theater" in Stony Creek, CT (right next to Branford CT) an article in the New Haven Register Jan 06 http://www.nhregister.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=16013525&BRD=1281&PAG=461&dept_id=566835&rfi=6 Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Kaplin" <skactw-AT-tiac.net> To: <puptcrit-AT-lists.driftline.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 11:57 AM Subject: [Puptcrit] Manteo Family > Greeting puptcritters, > > I am trying to track down the Manteo Family Sicilian Marionette > Company.
