Post by: flatliner on February 18, 2013, 11:48:19 AM: Folks I laid my hands on that call. Although the pictures are great they dont do that call JUSTICE It is hard to imagine what that call looks like when it is in your actual hand. I am just curious how Ole Steve is going to beat it next year.LOL If I had to put money on it I would say he is already planning so I guess Ill wait till next year to see At least I can say I knew him BEFORE he became FAMOUS *aah* *aah* *aah* *aah* *aah*

Post by: GSLAM95 on February 20, 2013, 06:48:20 PM: Congratulations to you again Steve! It was good seeing you at the convention, the 2 wing bone calls and the skull necklace hold a special place in my collection.
I only took a couple of pictures the entire weekend but one of them was the simply stunning piece that you took top honors with.
Although it is only a camera phone shot I thought I would add it to this thread as it has your ribbons displayed as well. Was going to post earlier but wanted to wait as I figured you would have some professional pictures taken.
Again congratulations on your achievements and look forward to a visit in the near future.
Take care my friend....John
