More than a customer...

Left to Right:  Me, my wife, Nina, John Kent, and his wife, Sharon.
John Kent has been a customer of mine for going on three years, now, but he is a lot more than that.  John is also a great friend and a spokesman for Mississippi Scratch Box Turkey Calls. Longbeards tremble at the sound of his footsteps!
This week, John and his wife Sharon were on a visit to Mississippi from their home in South Carolina, and Nina and I were honored to have them as guests in our home.  John went away with a hand-picked poplar scratch box to add to his arsenal, and he left me a couple of blocks of flourescent Oregon Myrtle, which will be turned into some special edition Mississippi Scratch Boxes!  We made plans to double team a bird or two when spring gets here.  Come back anytime, friends!

Thanks, friends.  It;s nice to be walking again, even with a slight limp!  I totally wore out a recliner and Nina made me promise to buy her a new one.  Those walls sure can close in on you!
John selected the myrtle himself while he was in Oregon this spring.  I can't wait for the weather to cool down enough that I can get back in the shop and begin making calls again!
