    Dear Friends,

    This letter is being sent to everyone on Jim Paw-Paw Wilson's address
    book.

    Our good friend, Patriot, Blacksmith, Chairman of Cybersmiths
    International
    and author of The Revolutionary Blacksmith, passed away Friday May 13
    at
    12:30 PM.

    Jim is survived by his wife Sheri, 4 children and 27 foster children.
    He
    died of respiratory failure after a bout of pneumonia possibly
    trigerred by
    zinc fume fever.

    A memorial service will be held Monday May 16, 7:00 PM at Holy Family >Catholic Church, Clemmons, NC. Coffee and desert will be served
    afterward.
    In liew of flowers please make a donation to Catholic Social Services
    or a
    charity of your choice.

    As many of you know Jim was building a NEW blacksmith shop. It is
    beautiful, open and airy. He had just gotten the chimney atached to
    his new
    forge but it has never had a fire in it. This afternoon his family and
    I
    will be putting the blower on the forge and building the first fire and >probably the last fire in his forge at 5:00 PM Sunday May 15. The fire
    will
    be used by his children and grandchildren to experiance some of Jim's
    love
    for the forge. Afterward we will ring his anvil and deface his
    touchmark.

    Jim was my best friend and traveling companion. We shall all miss him.

    Jock Dempsey, for Sheri and the family
