1929 A-4 Gibson Mandolin Needing Restore

I inherited my Grandfather's Gibson Mandolin.  The birch back has shrunk, which caused it to separate from the edge.  I brought it to Roberto Venn (John Reuter).  John wants Frank Ford to look at it and potentially do the repair while visiting the school in May.  Or alternately, to look at it and give John guidance.  I can post pictures if necessary!

If Frank reads this blog, could I possibly bring the Mandolin to Roberto Venn when you are in town?  If yes, could you let me know when you will be there?

If this is not possible, could anyone here suggest someone in the Phoenix Metro area who might be able to repair this priceless keepsake for me?  My son loves everything string, and wants to play this beautiful instrument.
