Loss of a wonderful tapestry weaving teacher
It is with great sadness that I inform you of James Koehler's passing. James died last night, Thursday, March 3rd. At this time there are no details for a memorial service. James was loved and respected by many, many friends and students.
I had taken two courses from James Koehler and hoped to take more. he was a very patient man. I have a book that was published recently on his interesting life. I'm very sad to hear this. Heather
