I would like to thank the Master Smiths who took the time to guide me in passing the Journeyman Smith requirements. Mainly, M.S. Brion Tomberlin and M.S. Mike Williams.
There are 2 new M.S., and 11 new J.S. The M.S. are: Eduardo Berado and Dionatam Franco de Souza. The J.S. are: Guillerma Gardia del, Monte Liam Hoffman,Liam Hoffman, Cody Hofsommer, James Huse, Barry Kennedy, Jordan LaMothe, Josh Lyle, Toni Oostendorp, Chris Wu and myself, Anthony Griggs.
(The names are from the ABS site.)
I did not get to meet all of you, but I wish you all a continued journey.
Also, a big THANKS to Jim Phillips (ABS Board Member) for the gift of "Bowie Knives and Bayonets of the Ben Palmer Collection".
