The Flathead Valley blacksmithing community lost a dear friend this week. When we came to the Flathead in the mid-90s and were new to the local blacksmithing community, Dan'l Moore was welcoming and friendly. His laid back style and enthusiasm for the craft made us feel at home. He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts go out to his family and to all who Dan'l touched in their lives.
