[snag]

Woke up to 4" of SNOW down here in Eugene. It is Spring isn't it??

[Kevin Winkler]

I'd love to attend, but like stagetek I have stay home and make money. I didn't make it on the fall PBS hunt last year because of surgery.....so this year I have to go. Have a great time everyone!

[Hud]

Have a great time, a trip up to Ted's Raptor Archery is always fun. Would rather be their for the fun and socials, but can't this year. Have fun.

[Jeff D. Holchin]

I'm leaving for Portland tomorrow.

[snag]

Made it to Portland. The snow was kind of mesmerizing hitting the windshield in the dark. Glad to be here....will sleep good tonight!

On my way from Wisconsin, in Denver waiting for connecting flight. Looking for Mr. G. Wensel. Havnt talked since  Kalamazoo,said not to email him anymore or I would be out of his will, cant have that. Ha! Looking forward to this trip very much.

Good day today. Met a bunch of good folks and scoped out all the vendors booths, raffle items, etc. A guy pulled up with a big load of highly colored, fiddlebacked, and tiger striped myrtlewood...had to jump on an unusually beautiful piece even before it made into the building! Right off the loading dock...haha

[snag]

One bad thing that I noticed today...my vendor table is surrounded by great looking bows! Stalker is to right, Allen Boice's Liberty Bows is next to mine, Robertson's, Palmer's are to the left, and, of course, Blacktail Bows....I'm in big trouble!    :rolleyes:

[Brad Robins]

Very nice trip up the Gorge to Ted's museum...Beautiful bows, arrows and historical traditional archery pieces.  Could have listened for hours        

Good to meet you all.

*******Please re-size pix, thanx********

You guys have fun and enjoy all the displays , check out Bob Burtons booth and all the Hill memorabilia that is his and Craig Eakins on display.
Nice of Craig to let Bob show off some of the items in his collection.

[Brad Robins]

What a great afternoon seeing all the incredibly cool stuff.  Seminars were great as usual.  

The honor was all mine when I met the Wensels.  True gentlemen that "get it". Had to buy a couple books and a video.

Ron French and the Wensels:
 
Me and them:
         
Tomorrow night I am bringing my father-in-law to listen to Gene.

How about some figured myrtlewood for you bowyers!!!


John Strunk with his beautiful selfbows.


Stalker bows were looking good.


Lots of great looking Allen Boice Liberty Bows.


How's this for "stone art"?!

[Brad Robins]

For those wanting more pictures from the banquet... I suggest visiting probowsociety.net ( the PBS Web Site ) under the Post "E-banquet" in the current topics section or also in the "Cyber Campfire" section, you will find 2+ pages of pics I have taken since it started on Thursady..

I'll get up more after taking them tomorrow during the day and at the Banquet and Auction tomorrow evening [late].

At least from Wisconsin, as of now, 3/24 - 2 pm CST, the PBS website is down.   :eek:  

Hopefully, it is routine maintenance, 'cuz I am guessing most of those who administer the site are probably in Portland!

Thanks for all of your hard work Gene, we appreciate it out here.

[Mike Vines]

Thank you for keeping us up to date Gene.  We all appreciate it.

[Stickbow]

I thought it was just me....the PBS site has been down all day
