Sue Bristol- Office Manager

Sue joined Frost Gully Violins in 2003 and promptly whipped us all into shape. She keeps things running smoothly in the shop, has our rental program running like a fine swiss watch, and adds a much needed feminine touch to the shop. She has nearly gotten over her fear of handeling the more expensive instruments and can sooth any ruffled feathers that we encounter. Go Sue!
