Caught this interesting article on H, John Heinz IV, the son of Sen. John Heinz III and his wife Teresa Heinz Kerry, and stepson of Sen. John Kerry. Seems his preferred occupation is......blacksmith.

A blacksmith that specializes in "medieval-style helments, cutting tools, (swords, knives, axes and chisels), hinges, locks, and nails.", and enjoys wearing a Utilikilt.

"Heinz IV dubbed his made- to-order blacksmith business Herugrim, which in Old English means "fierce in war," his Web site says. Heinz IV's forge specializes in medieval-style helmets, cutting tools (swords, knives, axes and chisels), hinges, locks and nails. Most of the hardware he fabricates is for 18th century homes and buildings.

There is evidence that Heinz IV can be generous to a fault. When the Utilikilts team, based in Seattle, showed up for a Pennsylvania festival, they transported plenty of kilts, leather and otherwise, but they had no room for their tent or display racks.

Their Web site says "Utilikiltarian" Heinz IV came to the rescue, fabricating display racks in a four-hour session at his forge."


As I said, interesting article.
