Marshall 2017
Stixnstones:
Alright boys, i know there's alot goin on at this event.... but i was thinking about doing a tribute to one of the forefathers of this event... Norm Blaker. Not only is he a living legend he is one of my best friends. I've had the pleasure of calling Norm a teue friend for over 20 yrs now.... nothing over the top, but i plan on making something for eveyone to sign and maybe a lil speach and hug ( Norm prefers hugs over handshakes) before the trade blanket on saturday night.
Stixnstones:
Really , if it was'nt for him this event would'nt be happening.... Norm will be 82 yrs young this year and he has lived every se ond of it. Let's show him the respect he diserves.

I finally got to meet him the first time i went to marshall. I've been reading about him since I was a young boy. Always found him very interesting. An extremely kind and generous guy in person. I would be glad to help or donate anyway I can
Knoll:
Great idea, Mike! He is some kinda (and kind) gentleman.
Stixnstones:
Just a few things... he was making bows, arrows and flintknapping when only a handful of ppl even knew that those thinga could be done... he quit his job as a carpenter to become a professonal trapper and archery trick shot with Ron Laclair for many years. Made his living with archery and primitive living. Was a bear guide and lived in a wall tent in Michigans U.P. for over 12yrs. Taught primitive skills for college students and still is a spiritual healer for all of mankind. He not only taught me, he changed my life and guided me to be a better person.
