I don't know anyone personally around that area, you might check out the congaplace board though, I know a few of those guys live down there. Repairing cracks is pretty simple though, you don't have to be a master woodworker to get it done. All you need is a couple of thick ropes, some Tightbond III wood glue, and a metal pipe or something to turn the ropes with. Tie the ropes around the belly of the drum, make a loop around the pipe and twist it until the tension closes the crack. Ratchet straps are another good option, strap it around the drum and tighten it closed, check the rating on the straps though, don't chince out and go with cheapy ones because they will snap. A syringe works good for getting the glue into the cracks. Leave the ropes tensioned for atleast 2 days to dry.
Some cracks are easier than others, I've found that the mahogany gon bops are much much easier to repair than the oak models. The glue they used on these old GBs wasn't the best, its pretty tough to find vintage gon bops without splits or previous repairs.
