[TheForge] FW: Mastermyr

[Mark A. Pesetsky]

How would one gain access to the trailer. I'm 4 hours from there. Could be a Harley road trip!!

Rob,

Can anyone in the area of Jonestown, Pennsylvania go to the trailer and see
if it's there.  I have to admit I'm a bit upset about this. As a historical
reenactor,  this project was something that I really put a lot of effort
into.  Once the project was completed, I had it shipped to me twice at my
own expense so that I could put it on display at historical reenactments.
The idea that the project is sitting in some abandoned trailer in the
middle of nowhere is quite upsetting.

As one of the people who worked on the project, I made four pieces for it,
I would be willing to take possession of it, store it and ship it out to
people who request to put it on exhibit.  Let me know if this is a
possibility.
