Howling Wolf Leather

The information about Biker Radio Magazine was not included in my above posting of the press release because it was not in the press release itself. Thank you for mentioning the interview as I am sure it is something that Wayne is very proud of. Here is more updated information in regards to Wayne Christensen: In February 2008, Wayne was a part of Biker Radio Magazine’s radio show entitled “The Leather Show”. During the episode Wayne shared with listeners how to work with leather to add it to their bike in a personal way. You can listen to the show in its entirety at: http://www.bikerradiomagazine.com/shows/ed...eather_show.mp3 Most recently because of his Outstanding Service to The Leathercraft Guild, Wayne Christensen was awarded The Weaver Memorial Perpetual Trophy by The Leathercraft Guild president Robert Ambriz on April 20th 2008.

Although this is a little late... Al Shelton has a shop on Ventura Blvd in Studio City California. Al Shelton will be 88 This June, last time I heard he was in overall good health.

You can check the California Fish and Game Codes and it will may have the information you are inquiring about: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/calawque...dy=&hits=20 It is pretty detailed but it is updated continually so I believe it would have the complete information you are looking for. Hope this helps!
