A letter to JW Halverson
In response to your text the other night regarding page 68 of the holiday issue ....death and the archer.....and your mocking comments. ..The following is to you sir.
I take umbrade in regards to you finding humor in the primitive archer magazine where I am featured during a typical hunting excursion. You fail to appreciate quality news reporting all be it crude and primitive in its execution. It may be your age that has caused you to forget my vocation as an educator and as such you have clearly missed the content of this fine work. An enlightened prospective might reveal a deeper relationship with death which brings the viewer to a greater understanding to how a juxtaposed duality of reaper iconography viewed in a our modern context clearly demonstrates not the failure of the archer but the duties of the reaper himself. Simply stated.... I SEE NO PALE HORSE!!!

Will be starting winter break on Friday and bow season opens again on Monday. I have been so busy with work I have had little time for much play so looking forward to some good times ahead.
On another note the museum downtown has commissioned a real nice project from me that will utilize my ABO skills. They ask if I could produce a donor recognition board for their supporters. I pitched the idea of an archeological dig site with different layers to represent different time periods. Each time period has large and small flint tools that would stand to represent various levels of donations. Each arrow head would have the name of the donor on it. Also donors from outside the area could be represented by knappers who trade points with me to represent the idea of how points and materials may have been traded. All of this would be on a display with a dig kinda feel.
I got the idea from a donor wall in South Dakota at a conservation facility last year hanging out with JW Halverson while taking a break from turkey hunting.

...Where Farmer John buried an arrowhead in the Black Hills shooting at a turkey! He has created a whole new science called "Reverse Archeology".
iowabow:
I call it "impact archeology".
JW_Halverson:
