Tom, I would come up if I could find a travelling companion. I'll check around. Where are you staying? Good luck with the bidding. Bill Murphy

[George Lander]

Tom: Good luck with your bidding. I wish that I could be there. I'm going to "phone bid" on a couple items (not BW).

Best Regards, George

Tom, Will look forward to meeting you Mon. AM....Lots to talk about....Should be Interesting to watch the "Punters" raising the Value on the 'Old Girl'. I enjoyed stripping her down for the "Close-Up photos".(Excellent Re-Stock #3.. Compliments to the Craftsman for a job 'Well Done") Foxed Chisels.

[Stan Hillis]

FC,

That is high praise , coming from a craftsman such as yourself. I also thought it to be an excellent re-stock when I examined it last October, but Jim would really appreciate hearing your opinion. I may be riding up to see him tomorrow to pick up a gun he repaired for me, and if I do I will certainly tell him what you posted. He is a fine Southern gentleman and a fine doublegun 'smith to boot. Also hope to get a look at George's big 4-bore.

Stan: I'm thinking about riding over to see Jim this afternoon to look at the Reilly & pick up a Hughes. Let me know if you plan to come & perhaps we can be there at the same time.

Best Regards, George

[Stan Hillis]

George,

Sorry, I didn't get your message 'til after I got back. I left early this morning and got back home just after lunch. The Reilly receiver and butt looks really nice. Man, that is a massive receiver! Sorry I didn't get to see the barrels, but he said they were not back from the engraver yet. I told Jim and Phil what FoxedChisels said about the restocking job on BoWhoop. They really appreciated that comment. Jim did the restocking and Phil did the checkering.

Tom,
I wish I was there for a "lobsta" roll and a cold beer. Maine is a great state. I was lucky enough to drop a couple of "tall ones" at the Vegas show. What a wonderful experience to handle the gun. Enjoy the auction.

Maine lobsters aren't anything compared to the hot dogs and sauerkraut at the Marilyn Monroe snack bar at the Riviera.

[MARSHFELLOW]

[George Lander]

Hey Stan: We are going to have to light off a couple in the Reilly when Jim gets her done. Sorry that I missed you (I didn't get to go today) Maybe next time.

Best Regards, George

[MARSHFELLOW]

Allrighty then.....so much for that thread!.............

[George Lander]

Hey Stan: I have just heard a rumor (and it is just a rumor) that someone here in the Southland is putting up some big bucks in the bidding for Bo Whoop. If he is successful he plans to place it beside BW #2 in the Ducks Unlimited Museum in Memphis, TN. To me that would be great!

Best Regards, George

[FOXIST]

Tom I plan on making the trip up Sunday morning. I will hook up with you guys at the preview. I look forward to talking with you and any other Fox Gents that plan on attending. This will be a milestone event in Foxdom. My hope is that whoever ends up with "Ole Bo Whoop" will somehow make it up to the Northeast SxS event this spring and shoot it in the "Bo Whoop challenge", the event named after it!!! How cool would that be!!!! Paul
