I LOVE sourdough bread. Dad always had starter on hand. He was the bread baker at home. Wish I had bothered to have him teach me 
so lucky

Oh @Carol Dee , It's not to late to learn!
My mom kept a started going for years and she made bread once a week. The one she used called for instant potato flakes. So yum. Ended up searching out opportunities to give a loaf to someone. Come to fix our furnace? Here's a loaf of bread. Paper boy collecting? Here, take some bread, too.
It wasn't that sour San Francisco sourdough, though. We don't have good natural yeast around here for "grow your own". I tried. Ugh.

i'm sure you could find starters/sources for a culture if you nose about some.
perhaps a local bakery or homebody. or just keep trying... there are natural yeasts floating around. probably better to try again when it is warm out instead of the middle of the winter. not that i know anything much about it, but the guys up north managed it in an area i'd not expect them to capture anything much at all (along the coast of Lake Superior with not much but woodlands all around them).
