[TheForge] phillip simmons anvil ring

[Paul N]

I was demonstrating at a local "1840's Day" event today, and rung my 
anvil at 12:30 CDT, and while explaining the tribute, a woman in the 
crowd, visiting from South Carolina mentioned that she saw an article 
about Phillip Simmons in the local paper. She was impressed about the 
tribute, and the anvil ringing traditions.

So, well I was happy to participate. Thanks for the suggestion to the 
group. It helped make my day. (Luckily  I was in a shady spot with a 
nice breeze. I didn't even realize it was 90 degrees out.)
