  Frank Thompson - Maker of Spinning Wheels - Finn Valley People
That man was the late Frank Thompson of Stranorlar, dead this thirty years past, but who, during his lifetime, was a master of his craft and whose famed spinning wheels are still turning to this very day, not only at home in Donegal, but in many countries abroad.
At that time, around 1960 Frank was then a hale and hearty eighty year old who loved nothing better than to sit at the hearth fire, smoking his pipe contentedly in the company of his daughters, Alacoque and Katie, still made his spinning wheels in his spare time.
Frank used to relate that making spinning wheels was an unusual occupation, particularly so for a man of his generation.
