A few years ago, I was given the opportunity to purchase a beautiful box call made by Charles Petrey, of Kentucky. This call was owned by none other than Jim Casada, and features beautiful feather woodburning artwork by Kathy Smith. The call was originally given to Jim by a friend and fellow collaborator at SEOPA (Southeastern Outdoor Press Association). As my last name is Petrey, and my extended family hails from Kentucky, this has become a treasured possession.
In doing a little research, I found an article about Charles. Here's a link:

I'm wondering if anyone knows of, or perhaps even knows Charles? Any leads? I'd love to buy some more of his calls.
Thanks for any help!
