Steel fork repair

Greetings:

I have a Miyata splined triple-butted steel fork that needs repair. Shipper packed the bike poorly and now it appears one fork blade is slightly bent. My crude measurements show drive side blade is bent about 10mm forward and 6mm outward. This assumes the other blade is good. I want to have it repaired by a seasoned veteran.

My questions are:
(1) Is it a reasonable idea to salvage this fork? The fork/bike is virtually new from 30yrs ago.
(2) How much would something like this cost when done by a professional?
(3) Can anyone recommend a shop in central Texas? (Not interested in big box bike chains)

Thanks in advance!
