That is true Jeff. I must admit that I let my membership expire. Did not
see the need to continue. Not so much  due to the actions of the board
directly. Mostly as I was not getting much out of it. I am not too
pleased with the Ring or the Blow. Both tend to focus more and more on
European and Asia smiths and techniques. What about all the smiths here
in North America? After all it is supposed to be a group of NORTH
AMERICAN smiths.....
