  Jonathan Lambert is a cobbler in Bangor, Maine.  Cobblers were once common in our cities and towns, now there are but a few.  When is the last time you wore shoes that a cobbler could work on?
  He is a busy man because he's the only cobbler left in the area, to my knowledge, and people bring him work, lot's of it.  Repairing shoes or favorite hiking boots, repairing a purse, belt or other leather item.
