There were lots of speed bumps in the road but here I am once again with a number of nice decoys to fit every pocketbook thanks to a lot of help from family, some very good friends and loyal consignors. Due to health problems I was unable to attend the Mid-West Decoy Collector’s Show for the first time in 40 years. Thanks to Bill LaPointe and Jim King for attending the show for me and exhibiting the decoys. There is absolutely no way I could have pulled this together without family and friends. If I may use a baseball analogy, it really came down to the last of the ninth, two outs and the count at three and two before we managed to scratch out a hit and round out the offerings.
