Oh man I wish I lived closer but the 500 mile drive isn't as easy as it once was. Those miniatures are really something esp. the sink box. Looks like a lot of fun.

New England needs one of these, but I just don't think we have the density of waterfowlers that Jersey/Long Island/Delaware area can muster.

Good morning, Anthony~

Looks like I had better get going on our main exhibit - 150 Years of Long Island Goose Hunting. Craig and I met with Dick earlier this month - but health and family keep slowing us down. We will be including decoys and gear from the mid-1800s through 2000 - and recounting the profound changes that have taken place over that period regarding the natural history and pursuit of Branta canadensis. Most of the decoys will come from more accomplished collectors than I. However, I will show this bird (which you have seen previously) made by a friend of my Dad's - Charles "Zip" Zoubek from East Islip.

This was taken in 1958.



And this was staged in 2016 - after I restored it.



All the best,

SJS
