Title: A Special Gift, Post-St. Jude Auction
Post by: ber643 on June 30, 2014, 08:41:00 AM
Wanted to share the generosity of one of our members. After the St. Jude Auction ended, J. Holden sent me one of his Joyful Noise Deer Calls, as a personal gift, along with his mailing fee for one of my items he had bid on and won. It was not only a pleasant, and humbling, gift but is also a very impressive piece of work. Note the beautiful two piece body material and workmanship, the deer tracks on the brass joining ring, the adjustable/expandable grunt tube, and the camo lanyard. The interior, of course, contains a reed assembly that is also adjustable, with an o-ring that can be placed in different slots to produce about 5 different sounds in a range from a fawn bleat, through a doe, and up to a mature buck. The sounds produced are quite impressive to these old ears. Thank you so much for your support of St. Jude Children, and this generous, beautiful gift, Jeremy.

Mr. Dunn does have a way with words doesn't he?  Thank you so much for the accolades from Bernie and all those that followed.

I wanted to surprise him as I was tardy in getting my payment to him.  I just wanted to make it up to him and thought he'd appreciate the call.

I also wanted to honor his dedication to the children.  It seemed like every page of the auction had a dozen items each from him!

It feels good to surprise and bless those that come along in our lives.  I encourage everyone to do the same.  It really does give you purpose throughout the day, week, or month if you're always looking for a way to serve someone other than yourself.

Thank you again Bernie and Tradgang for making this site what it is!
