Since there isn't an ABANA Chapter in Oregon, we're thinking about starting
one.  If you live in Oregon, send me a zap with your zap address and we'll
let you know if/when we get the first meeting off the ground.

there is already a chartered chapter of the Oregon Blacksmiths.  At least
there was.  It is not active at the moment as far as I know but might be in
the southern part of the state, maybe even as he Jeffersonian Blacksmiths.
I don't really know who to contact, maybe ABANA would have some
information.  The last president that I know of is Dave Thompson in Eugene.
Jim Fleming started it way back in paleolithic times almost before iron.I
would be glad to see it start up again.  Most of the smiths in the state
except maybe those in southern Oregon joined with Washington and made the
Northwest association.

Be in touch.
