Title: Two Pearson Deadheads rest of the story
Post by: Kip on June 03, 2013, 10:52:00 AM
Sixteen years ago my brother in law was killed in a tractor accident on some hunting property we bought together.This was a dream we had together and he was like a brother to me having only one sister and no brothers.My sister gave me some of his archery equipment that his 3-daughters did not want.Two Pearson deadheads were in the box.I put an insert on the smaller one and sharpened it but never used or shot it.Knowing they were somewhat collectable I never would have sold them but decided this year that St. Jude needed them more than me.I know this was a small donation compared to others but I think Jimmy would have approved.They sold for $40.00 bought by Gib (Gilbert Kustra).Kip

Wonderful gesture on your behalf Kip. When you told me that story when you visited I had a lump in my throat. Somehow I think he is smiling down on you my friend    :campfire:
