Mike Thurman (Our Instructor)
Retired U S Air Force (20 years). Originally from Arkansas but have lived in Montgomery, Alabama for 40 years. I first started learning pine straw baskets about 10 years ago. Jean Kerr was my teacher. When she moved to Utah about 5 years ago, she asked me to take over her basket classes. I’ve been doing it sine. I teach out of the Pioneer Museum in Loachapoka. I’ve taught some classes at the Bradshaw Library in Valley.
