[TheForge] Sad news from IFI

[Jerry Frost]

I don't know how many of you are cross subbed to the IforgeIron forum and 
haven't seen mention here so I'll do so.

May 9th Sean Conner passed away. Sean was a co-founder of IFI a honor 
student, accomplished smith, track and field star amongst other sports. He 
was deciding on which full boat scholarship to take and was only 18.

His death was from natural causes and sudden. Glenn is of course pretty 
distraught over losing his son. He called me sunday evening to give me the 
info as IFI was shut down for a few days.

I didn't know Sean well though we talked on the forum a few times. He was a 
rising star in the smithing community and pretty sure to be a success in 
whatever he chose to do.

IFI appears to be partially operational right now if Sean's handle was 
"Whitesmith" and he's known on several other fora as well though I don't 
know under what handles.
