Thompson April Newsletter
We wanted to say thank you to the folks that reached out last Saturday, one year since Preston's passing.  The time seems to go quickly, but weekly we talk about Preston and have enjoyed his wife Julie becoming part of the company.  She is an inspiration and helpful in so many ways - Thanks Julie : )

One of Preston's last trips was March of 2018 to Nashville. Here are a few photos of his visit to Carter Vintage and at the Nashville Flatpick Camp gifting Molly her new Thompson, along with enjoying a visit with Adam/Meghan and the campers. 
This trip was highlight for Preston and a treasured memory for us.
Dan Stewart, Preston's business partner, wrote about the meaning of legacy for Preston's memorial service last year.

A reminder of why we are carrying on here at the shop and a tribute to Preston a year later.  Every crew member has their own thoughts about their relationship with Preston, what remains constant is that he was admired, loved and is missed.
Our dealer relationships always meant so much to Preston so IF YOU are in NEED of a NEW GUITAR
CHECK OUT OUR DEALERS for what is available NOW.

We appreciate you supporting these businesses as they navigate trying to remain open and successful.

His innovation and talents provided the support Preston and the team needed to transition from Preston's vision of producing more guitars to the shop it is today. His achievements will continue to be with us as we move into the future.  We wish him great success in his next adventure.

Thanks again Kaleb!
