[TheForge] phillip simmons anvil ring

[Photog607 at aol.com]

I want to thank everyone who took part in today's anvil ringing memorial  
for Phillip, I have posted a video on youtube of the ringing in the shop. I 
hope  his family knows how much he meant to the blacksmithing community. They 
are in  our thoughts.

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.)
