My Flatcoat, Maggie, got bad news from the Vet today...feelings have been said well by others getting the same news on this forum before, thought I'd ask you to google Kipling's Power of the Dog poem...don't know how to attach it here, easy to find. Hits the mark well for anyone that has had a...

checking in to see if this is still ongoing? Workshop is a mess, but could send a cheque...to what address? Tom

Can't see from the photos, but the Anger's I had access to years ago in Ontario had a swinging lead keel weight...not the typical board type keel one pictures today. Still want some?

Hope this doesn't fall under "commercial", as it is a great chance for carvers to see classic decoys that won't be sitting on my shelves any time soon: Tue/26 Wed/27 July at the Sheraton Harborside Portsmouth NH. Auction, and another room of tables for buy, swap, sell. Make sure you don't wave...

Family tradition is nice....though being the youngest, I was stuck with the plucking when we brought home birds! Tom

I've met customers at Kittery Trading Post on their way home from hunts with Troy...all echo the sentiments above. Great to hear folks are enjoying New England...nice to hear you are maintaining the standard! Tom

We see a couple 42's every year, $1,000 - $2,000 depending on the usual variables. GunBroker, other auction sites are one way. Larger used gun shops will offer $800 credit/$1,000 retail; likely $650 cash/$1,000 retail, just a rough ballpark. Like others said, do you really need to sell? If so...

hey Geoff, speaking of your ice hockey days, or time on the marsh??

congratulations to both of you...

thanks everyone...as I recall the visit written about was bittersweet - great to be able to pin down the locations, sad to see some become developments. Looking forward to being able to read it again.

Does anyone have a May/June1998 DU magazine and be willing to copy the article on 3 gents that searched out Gordon MacQuarrie's hunting grounds mentioned in his Old Duck Hunter's Association writings? Will also try DU archives, but no luck in my initial attempts. Tom

Eric, check out the courses and videos on www.positivecoach.org Sound info generated from Stanford U, initially for coaches...Jackson (NBA coach - he's got a few rings), along with Women's Nat'l Soccer team, college, school, and club teams, endorsing the method. A parent guide, and then a...

nice to see the boat getting new life Chris...

lab looks lively...thanks for photos...

in the late '60's, Soule gave me a gallon of the shoe glue used to seal decoys..They coated the bird, then later just the bottom of decoy; if you find the decoys now, most repair cut spar varnish, and 3 or 4 coats generally seal the black cork. I have his birds sealed this way for 25 years...

I have a 7 year old flat coated retriever...snapped acl in right rear leg. Cost of surgery vs "it might sort itself out". Let it be, stopped hard running retrieves...she's been happy and chasing squirrels at full pace. Yes, chance of stress on other pegs is a possibility. No issues to date (two...

I have Charles Murphy decoy patterns/blueprints - pm a snail mail address, you can have them. tom

The "made in Belgium, assembled in Portugal" is not the Japanese '60's and 70's 101 in any way... Browning (owns Winchester) making due with a recognized tag. We've had new and used 101s; new model never lit the market on fire, but seems to be decent value for the price. Tom

thanks John...have wood for now, VT cedar could sit here for a year, and I do some clinics up in Vermont come autumn. Might just work out time/travel wise. Tom
