I meet John Whittaker, the guy who wrote the book "American Flint Knappers" I only remember the first name of the other people so I will just list them by first, Les, Dave from Des Monies, Joe from ceder rapids, Kevin from Minneapolis, and a lot of other people. It was the fist time I ever went to a knapin, it is hard to decide what to do when you there. The question is do I work on a point and ask questions about issues or watch others work. I did a little of both.
