When Robert Salter Ripley sold the house by the Maccan Bridge to Frank Blenkhorn, he exempted the Blacksmith Shop on the road to Maccan Station. Now I don't recall seeing any Blacksmith Shops around and thought maybe it had been turned into the Boss Garage. Gordon Boss's number was busy so I called up Bud Hurley and asked him if there were any Blacksmith Shops around when he was a kid. "Sure," he said. "Right across the street from where my family lived. I used to work there for Judson Trenholm. That's T-r-e-n-h-o-l-m. It isn't there anymore but it used to be just on the Amherst side of the cenotaph between the turnoff to River Hebert and Maccan Station. Next time you come I'll show it to you." Well, that was easy. Love those guys!
