August 2, 201213 yr Just saw this on FaceBook, posted by the New England School of Metalwork: "We just heard that blacksmith and NESM Instructor Mark Aspery was in a motorcycle accident this past week and is injured but alive. We wish Mark a speedy recovery and hope to have him back soon!" Has anyone heard anything else. Our prayers go out for a speedy recovery!
August 2, 201213 yr To those that have never met the man, he is A really nice chap, salt of the earth as it were, I hope that he has a complete and speedy recovery!!! -Get well soon Mark!
August 2, 201213 yr Hi All, I went and seen Mark at the hospital last night he is in good spirits feels very lucky for only minor injuries, broken right shoulder 4or 5 broken ribbs and a bruised lung. Thanks for the prayers etc. Gaylan Veater
August 2, 201213 yr Sorry to hear of the accident - glad the injurys are mendable. I'm sure Mark was still triing to cool off from the heat of sun in Rapid City. I hope the healling goes well.
August 2, 201213 yr Hi All, I went and seen Mark at the hospital last night he is in good spirits feels very lucky for only minor injuries, broken right shoulder 4or 5 broken ribbs and a bruised lung. Thanks for the prayers etc. Gaylan Veater Well gee, tell him to slap some pine tar on it and get back to work! Is he a blacksmith or a mouse? :rolleyes:
August 3, 201213 yr Mark is a first class blacksmith and great guy to be around. I'm sorry to hear about his accident and am praying for him to make a speedy and full recovery. Mike
August 3, 201213 yr Just saw on Facebook Mark was in a motorcycle accident in CO. Lets keep him in our thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for the prayers etc. Gaylan Veater Gaylan do you have the address and room info so we could send him a care package?
August 3, 201213 yr Mark, if you read this, I know the pain you are in, I recently had a serious shoulder surgery, 2 tendons, 2 muscles and bones issues, some cartilage to be trimmed as well. You are well respected and many people like myself are hoping and praying for ease of pain and speedy recovery. Cheers!
August 4, 201213 yr Mark is an old school, tough individual. I'm confident of his recovery, but, haven't heard anything about the shape of the scooter... Thinking happy thoughts, Mark.
August 4, 201213 yr Good luck and quick recovery Mark - and get rid of the bike. That's about all they are good for...
August 5, 201213 yr Prayers from here. Big hopes for speedy and complete recovery. I must admit that seems like a high mark for minor injuries, but if that is the yardstick, I will roll with it
August 5, 201213 yr Get home safely, and get well soon, Mark. Gotta be careful about those bikes. That CBA risks article is correct. Lots of hazards in the blacksmith shop, but none like the trip back and forth.
August 8, 201213 yr I could say some things about the dangers of the road but life is just plain and simple dangerous so I suppose I'll just say a prayer that he recover quickly and that his shoulder and all heal so that he can resume life without too much pain. God be with you! Jerry
