Johnny Hickey, Eagle Scout

On Sunday night we travelled down to Mapelton to go to Johnny Hickey's Eagle Scout court of honor, this was the best Eagle court that I had ever seen. They are hard core in Mapelton. They brought in this 20 lg Golden Eagle, 25 years old, who has lived in captivity for the last 20 years. The gal from the Avary gave a great talk on Eagles and their wonderful attributes and each Eagle got a chance to hold it. So cool!!!



This is Johnny in his Scouting outfit looking cool. The Eagle Scout award is a really good one and we are proud of him.

Custom Buffalo Hide Boots

We visited Mark and Mary in January and went to the Dallas Safari club as well. We stopped in the Russell Moccasin booth and they measured my feet and hand created these boots for each foot (the left is permenately more swollen than the right). I mailed them 4 square feet of a Cape Buffalo hide that I had saved from an African Safari. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Maybe I'll get another pair of shoes made.
