Hello to all

[Luke Hatley]

Thanks guys!!! Luke, I,m actually only less than 2hrs from you. I live in a little town called Nettleton, which is about 15 miles south of Tupelo,which you all know is the birthplace of the king of rock and roll,Elvis Presley. I work on towboats Luke, so I come thru Memphis pretty often. Maybe we could meet sometime and you can clue me in about how to get into the whole buckskinning thang.

John, come on down , I'll leave the light on and the string out.

we'll Boil some Coffey and Jawbone till the sun comes up.

I'll turn u n to a Skinner even ifin it kills you.

Absolutely John!Daniel is not only an influence in my work, but has been very helpful in answering a few questions when I have called or e-mailed. Karen Shook,as you can tell, has had influence on my sheath work, as well as Chuck Burrows of Wild Rose Trading Post. I've never spoke with Karen,but I have studied her work for several years, and Chuck got me started in the right direction in working with rawhide thru a phone call a few years ago. so I owe all these great artists a debt of gratitude!! Luke, Thanks, and I'll give you a call sometime in the near future, and get up there to meet you sometime do this, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
