[TheForge] Bill Fiorini very poor health

[Gladish, Andy]

I barely know Bill, but he means a lot to me- watching him do his layered
steel magic and pass around examples of his work at the Smoke Farm NWBA
gathering sparked my interest in that and I've had great fun and much
success with it since.
It's one thing to know that a thing exists and that someone somewhere is
making it, it's quite another to see it done and think, "I could do that!"
I felt that Bill gave us all the feeling that, as involved as the process
is, "I could do that!"
What a gift to be able to give- I bet that the people he's done that for
number in the thousands, and that's a truly wonderful legacy.
"O Brave new world, that hath such creatures in it!"
