Ellen, 
   Yes, Bruce D. Schwartz, one of the world's finest puppeteers, lives in
California.  The last I heard (about a year ago) he was making dolls.   I saw
some photos of them and they were exquisite.  Unfortunately, he still was not
performing.  When he was performing regularly, he had quite a following here
in Atlanta.  I remember once talking to one of our patrons who refused to
even see any other performer; he felt that after seeing Bruce's work, anyone
else would be a let down.  That may be a bit drastic, but I can understand
how he could feel that strongly.
