FW: [TheForge] Answer to Mark-( and don't worry about the kids)

[Ron Childers]

Hi, Mark, I'm back from a long weekend at the conference in Barberville.
Again; respectful, responsible kids & cute mamas. I had a few "Sweet young
things & old Granddads" in my classes also. 

I really appreciate the old geezers; it's nice to know there are people even
older than I who can still swing a hammer. The kids have an insatiable
thirst for knowledge and the energy to carry it through. They didn't just
disappear after class; they stuck around and helped tear down & load up. If
my experience this weekend is any indication, the art of black smithing will
be alive & well in perpetuity.
