I had a couple of inquiries regarding the location of my classes. I'm
holding them at my smithy on the former Naval Air Station in Alameda, CA.
This is on the island of Alameda, adjacent to Oakland, CA. I'm about 15
minutes from downtown San Francisco, CA. I can be reached at (510) 865-5328
(leave message).
