A great knapper passed
« on: December 07, 2008, 01:40:01 pm »
For anyone who know's Bill Metcalfe and hasn't heard yet. He died of lung cancer back in June. I just found out yesterday and wanted to pass it along. He was a really nice guy, a great knapper and a world class bser. He'll be missed.

Was aware of that, too bad. I'd never met him but had chatted some online with him. Mike: I'm in Killeen for the next couple of days, thinking about rounding up some flint (like I need more ;D). Where's your honey hole ::)?

Sorry about this! Is there a something to be read about his life? I`ve heard his name but don`t know the circumstances.
