Graham's Mountainside Turkey Calls

[M Sharpe]

Can anyone shed a little light on this. I have a pot call that has Graham's Mountainside Turkey Calls on it. It is fashioned after D.D. Adams' calls. It is acrylic or sand blasted glass on one side and the back is open, like D.D's with a slate inside. The signature on it is Dave Butz. I checked on this company. Manta says it was started in 1988 by Sally Graham, or she is the owner now. Any history on these calls and Butz would be appreciated.

  I have heard of Mountain Side Game Calls in PA
Cindy and Earl Ritzman..Earl is cousin of D.D Adams..

Earl and Cindy actually purchased Mountain Side Game Calls, due to it being in financial difficulties.
