A Very Special Gift From A Very Special Friend
« on: June 10, 2010, 09:24:31 AM »
Being homebound is frustrating. So I read a lot, always have. I study a lot. Bible and Theological topics mostly. But in the last year I have become a student of the history of Callmakers and the art of call making. I have given a portion of my time to understand better the Art of making wood talk! As well as the passion of men and women in this fraternity and it's long and fragmented history. I would never have been able to buy these books,, but out of the goodness of his heart, Richard Helsby sent these to me. I can't even begin to express my gratitude. That you Richard and Sally. These will be treasured by our family for generation to come.

No respect should be given to a man who does not honor his word. He is just an adolescent who's acorns haven't dropped yet.

This is perhaps what I love the most about call collecting and the people involved in it. Without question, the finest people I've ever met have been callmakers and collectors hands down.
