Said goodbye to a dear friend

[pappy]

Well it is sad to say but i sent out the last of the original Killer Kegs today, found it in the shop hanging on a cabinet ... got him down and played with him, brought back a pile of memories, then by fate, I got a pm from cwaggg here on the site looking for a tube call to start with..."I am interested in trying my first tube call and was wondering if you would be willing to make me one or more than one? I have been researching and see you have several designs. I would trust your judgement as far as what design or designs I should try. Any material you think best would be fine with me. I would appreciate it if you would be willing to make me one and offer some guidance. Thanks, Robert Waggoner"
so we sent him Ol' Faithful....I think he likes it....as he described getting all giddy when he pulled it out of the box....

I have to say a big public thank you to pappy . I was wanting to try my first tube and wanted to start with a good one. When I sent the message above. He simply replied he had just what I needed he would send it out. When I tried to pay him he unexpectedly replied no payment necessary. A few days later I go to the mailbox and when I open the box I was overwhelmed with what I found inside along with a handwritten note that this was one of the original 12 and his number to call if I needed help. As I told him I was downright giddy. I really felt undeserving of this generous act from a stranger. I feel like I'm holding a little piece of turkey hunting history. I don't know how to repay him, but I will do my best to pay it forward. I am still very new to turkey hunting and am blown away by how many good people there are involved with this sport. Here he is I am already getting some great turkey sounds just need to work on consistency.
