The smith was an integral part of the community prior to the industrial revolution. People turned to the Smithy to maintain their equipment and keep tools in circulation by making repairs. Dick, an accomplished gunsmith, moved to Argyle, Maine from Rhode Island and was welcomed with open arms. His skills are fast becoming a vanishing trade and he has had no shortage of business.
Dick is a man of diverse talents, gunsmithing just one among many. He is a musician, a certifed Electrical Engineer and apprenticed under a master organ technician. He reflects the Maine lifestyle of skill diversity, always having another trade to fall back on in case stricter gun control laws are passed.
