4elements Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 When I was an 18YO kid I went to school briefly in Kansas city. I there I first met a working blacksmith. He had a shop in an area called The River Quay, a craft and art district. He shared space with a silversmith and a glass blower in the basement. I long ago forgot his name, but that short acquaintance left me with a lingering desire which I didn't see realized until I was in my 50s. Now i remember that time and inspiring Smith and i wonder if anyone knows who he is/ was, and if he's still around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Have you checked old editions of the "Yellow Pages,"' and also business directories? SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4elements Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Thanks for the idea. That might get me his name but at this length of time (about 46yrs) who knows what could have transpired? I know my own life has had plenty of twists and turns. It was from him that I first heard of ABANA, but I don't know if he was a member. I've never joined so I'm putting it out to the broadest group I can (I know international is VERY broad) because I don't remember enough specifics, such as addresses, shop name, other people, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 4-E. You may also try checking the Kansas City Star newspaper archives for advertisements years back. They are on-line. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
