Iowa Bow, just tell him you have an injured raptor at your house.  He will drop everything and be on his way.  The man has a passion for rescuing those beautiful birds.  If he gets mad when he finds out he was duped just hand him a piece of osage or hickory to calm him down.

I'm in for $50 and I'll donate a primo osage stave to be raffled. I did one on PP and it fetched 250.00 after the smoke cleared.  Danny

I tried to entice him to IN to be a guest speaker to all my middle school students about his profession and even threw in a free school lunch, but the mileage fees were a little out of my budget for the round trip  :o. I wonder if he could be shipped flat rate USPS ?

Last year I had planned to pick him up on my way through, but went on a hunting trip to Africa and did not make it to the Classic.  One thing I can guarantee, if he makes it to the farm, you won't need to hire any one for entertainment!  He has the quickest wit of anyone I know.  He and his young helper spent the night here a year or so ago on a trip to pick up a wounded bird.  We really enjoyed the visit!  A/Ho Joe

What the heck else does JW have to do anyway. All those raptors can be without him for a few days. Not that we need another commedian at the Classic but one more surely won't hurt!  8)

There is a "Rumor" out there that JW can ride a bicycle 800 miles in one week.
That should get him to Iowa. ;D

Somehow this seems to have the flare of a great movie. You know "saving Private Ryan"   Except it would be "Road trip in the bug with JW"  Then agian in might be more like "JW goes Primitive" or --------   -----------      ---------  You fill in the blanks   Come on guys lets hear your thoughts on the movie name! >:D

As quick a wit as he has it is a bit out of character for him to be speachless.  I'm guessing that he is a proud man as we all are to a certain degree and doesn't want to influence anyone. He's not a taker he's a giver and I know that sometimes givers have a hard time recieving. I have not met him in person but have spoken with him on a number of occasions by phone and I am sure he is a blast in person. Testiment to that is how much everyone wants him to be there. Some people just add a little spice to life and apparantley JW is that kind of person.  My offer stands.   Danny

Danny was right on the money.  I got that Scandanavian Lutheran background that requires me to pitch in and help out, but never ask for help, and to refuse help because "I'm just fine and I'll be ok"

Well, it was put to me bluntly just very recently that in refusing I would be denying others the chance to do good.  In effect, I would be standing in the way of them receiving the blessings we get when we give from the heart.  I spoke with a friend about this today and she told me it was pride, and not the good kind, more like the 7 deadly sins kind of pride. 

So, I have been humbled and I am thankful.  I now need to clear my calendar for the dates, organize volunteers to cover caring for my birds, and all the things you gotta do when you are going to be out of town.  Looks like I got a road trip in my future. 

Thanks.

Ok Gus I got ya on the list. What I am doing is taking names and then dividing the cost among those giving. The more names the less the cost. Our goal is easy only $250.00. We already have some that are donating but could use more. The donations will be used to pay for gas from his house to mine and back again. I will drive him from Ia to Tn and because I already planned on going it will create no additional to me. Annette will pack food so we will be well fed. Thank you gus I will pm you in a couple of days with details.

 That's good stuff right there!!! let me take it 1 step further... National Lampoon's driving mister Halvorsen.... I can see it now the movie starts out with an eagle screaming jumping off a branch and flying into the sky..... then the camera shoots from aerial view , it sees a station wagon driving down to South Dakota road ,as it zooms in you can see J dubs head out the window on the passenger side and driving would be Chevy Chase as long lost cousin Clark Griswold , the whole time the song holiday road with the plan
