Jim PawPaw Wilson Memorial Hammer-In Saturday June 18, 2005
	Chase and I building a fire in Paw-Paws forge after the formalities. I demonstrated making a leaf from flat bar and a leaf on the power hammer. Chase was Paw-Paw's apprentice and dutiful helper. Chase helped build Paw-Paw's shop but did not get a chance to work in it. This summer he will get his chance we work with some of Paw-Paw and Sheri's grandchildren to make a railing for deck.

Glenn Conner and Monica Babbs, Glenn not paying attention. . . This was a typical summer family event, the kids all playing in the hot tub. We also had an Iron-in-the-Hat which thanks to generous donations and ticket purchases covered expenses.
