Most of you are aware of the ongoing call auction that Gregg Guthridge and myself have been running for the last 6 months to raise money for the Armstrong family and their 5 yr old daughter , Kinsley who has cancer . Thanks to the callmakers and collectors on Osage Roost and Turkey Call Junkies , we have raised over $9,000 so far .
I was recently contacted by a well-known outdoor writer from the North American Hunting Club about doing a story about the fund-raising efforts we have been accomplished so far . The story goes to print in a week and will appear in the June/July issue of North american Hunter magazine . I am really excited about this and I hope it will help keep us callmakers and collectors interested in her situation . So far we have had donations of calls from 26 people and many of you have sent in monetary donations as well .
We still have calls coming in to be auctioned and I hope to keep them coming as well as any cash that you can spare to help them out . So please continue your support of this worthy cause and do something to help out if you can .
Keep you eyes open for the story and if you aren't a member , you can join the North American Hunting Club for only $12.00 and you will get the upcoming issue .
Thanks to everyone who has supported us during the auction and to those of you who plan to help in the near future !!
Thanks to JJ Reich and the North American Hunting Club !!

Thanks for all the hard work Bob and Gregg, and to all who have donated both with calls and $$$.
The giving nature of our extended familiy is infinite. It takes special people to dedicate so much time and effort to any cause. I'm thankful that those same people will be recognized and that giving will continue to help those in need.

Thanks for the nice comments guys , but it's not about mine or Gregg's efforts at all . I am doing this for the same reason as all of you who have donated or purchased calls ... to help out a family in need . I have tried hard not to get any exposure for myself or my calls, I just can't help but do what I can to make it a little easier on the Armstrong family . I am extremely happy with how all of you have stepped up to do the same ! Thanks to all of YOU !!!
Kinsley has been very ill lately . She has undergone two rounds of very strong Chemo-therapy and still has two more treatments to go . She has taken a bad turn from the treatments and has been unable to eat for almost a week . She was taken to the hospital about a week ago and they kept her because of her current condition . They have been feeding her but she is very sick . I pray that she can make it through two more treatments and get back to being a kid again .
My reward for helping will come in the form of Little Kinsley growing and living a normal life . That is what would make the efoorts that all of us have put forward , a success . Thanks again everyone ! If you are not a member of the NAHC , join now for $12.00 and you'll receive the upcoming issue with the story about all the fine turkey hunters in our close-knit groups on the Osage Roost and Turkey Call Junkies .
Thanks again to all of you who have helped out in any way !!
