Jake, 

     Was my assistant here at Peters Valley School of Craft for two years. He is a young very accomplished blacksmith who at his age of 29 has experience beyond his years. Before assisting me Jake served an apprenticeship at The National Metal Museum in Memphis, worked for the Museum of Making with Japheth Howard in Canada and Glenn Gilmore in Montana.

 

    Jake has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. As of now we don't know if it is cancerous or not and have no prognoses. I'm posting this to ask for your prayers for Jake and in hopes that some of the many people he knows will see this.

 

 Thank you 

I know we don't know each other, Jake, but my prayers are with you.

He, family and friends are on the list.

I will put Jake on my list .   I wish him and his family the best...

 

Jim
