Bruce,

I think this conversation has been around the block several times.

Now you want to put the whole Abana thing on a truck and drive it 
around?

If it works what you will end up with is what we already have but 
costing more $$. A "rolling group" (instead of affiliates) in every 
corner of the country having regional conferences which we already 
have. All in the interest (apparently) of "saving" Abana.

Abana is dead. It just hasn't sunk in yet. I get no pleasure from this. 
No anxiety either. It's evolution. Abana came about and breathed life 
into blacksmithing. Blacksmithing is now alive and well and can breathe 
on it's own.

The King is Dead. Long Live The King.
