Why No NEWS? I been asked this several times and I'm sure many of you have wondered why there has not been a new edition of the news in a year.
Its fairly simple, time and money. The average cost per volume of the anvilfire NEWS has been over $1,000 US (not including any labor). This is Volume 25. Yes some were covering local meetings and a few the photos and articles were provided by volunteers. But traveling to the big conferences is expensive. Especialy when you are footing the bills for one or more helpers, INCLUDING admissions. Yes, ABANA and the Chapters have charged us to attend their conferences and report on them in almost EVERY case. Time has also become a problem. Continued. . . Page 2 Centaur Forge Troubles Management at Centaur Forge backed by the "heirs" of Bill and Bonnie Pieh have ousted CEO Amy Pieh, daughter of Bill and Bonnie. Meanwhile there have been complaints of bad service since the reorganization. Apparently nobody realized how much work Amy Pieh actually did. Amy took over the operation of Centaur Forge when her mother Bonnie died in a accidental fall October 13, 2001. 
Dave Manzer Little Giant Video, "How to cure the Bang, Tap, Miss Blues" Now available exclusively from anvilfire.com! If you have a Little Giant you NEED this video. If your Little Giant ever does the "Little Giant Hula" you REALLY need this video! Dave explains the bad behavior of many Little Giants and explains how to fix it. ABANA announces plans to have a web-cam at the June conference. We tried it in 2000 but failed due to lack of money and manpower. But our plan was to web-cast from video daily. A time consuming and difficult process IF everything goes right.

Predicted thunderstorms delayed the arrival of the host, Bruce Blackistone, until mid morning on Saturday. However, the predicted storms mearly made the weather the most comfortable in all the years this event has been held. Those attending had a wonderful time. Paw-paw and I drove up to see the brass casting demo and learned some useful tricks. Continued. . . Page 4
