Frame builders /repair shops in DC area

I'm looking to get some brazing repairs on a steel frame in the DC / NOVA area. The few local shops I've been to don't seem very knowledgeable / interested about anything vintage. [Except for Velo Classique which is awesome - was awesome : ( Hope his shop turns up again somewhere.]

Would appreciate any recommendations.

Bill Gibson probably. He modified a front rack for me and cold set a frame. I think he's done a few custom frames but brazeons etc seem to be his bread and butter. He's also active with Velo Pigs.
