Western Iowa Tech, WIT, W.I.T.'03,A pioneer in repair training, WIT has had an ongoing repair school for as long as I can remember. I taught there one day for Clarence Riley back when Sir James was a student and later attended clinics given by John Huth and Mike Webb a few years ago.This was the site for this years clinic attended by 30 bodies eager to learn more, hear about and see the most up to date tooling available. I was glad to see Program Director Rod Siljenberg again, as well as Steve Danielson and Tim Nielsen of Tim's Band Instrument Repair in Ruthven, Iowa. They were last seen in Battle Creek, Michigan playing with a Z60/61E dent machine Tim picked up. It was also good to meet Pete DeBoer and Byron Youngquist in person, and the WIT students.
