Is this complete?

This is what I have come up with to send to Kristy Bosworth of Rocky Mountain Elk Federation. She e-mailed me on Friday asking about the participants and the components of the project.(and worth?)
   Those that participated in the Southern Community Bow Project, please read over this list and let me know if all is OK or if changes are needed. I would like to get this out to Kristy ASAP.  Thanks.  Pat

ps. I am still trying to contact Marius about the quiver, sheath and knife but without success. Any suggestions would be appreciated.


I hope the attachment worked

I thought it was going to work Pat, but looked more like some kind of morse code .

[DanaM]

Pat perhaps frank(medicewheel) can call Marius. At least their in the same country.
And yup its morse code.

I e-mailed the doc to Sarah and she was gonna post it. For some reason I can e-mail it but not post the doc.       Pat

I heard from Marius this morning. He has been on vacation for a month. Can you imagine a month vacation all at once? I'd never go back to work.   Before Marius left he asked a co-worker to mail the package out but when Marius returned to work the package was still there...so Marius has Fed-EXed it to me.      Pat

The only thing I see in the description is the knife is a deer leg bone handle not
antler.

Pappy, I just got the quiver, sheath and knife from Marius today and saw it was deer leg bone. I'll make that correction.
   Sarah, Thanks for posting this for me.
  I now have the complete Southern Community Bow Set in my possession. I will take pics of the set before I send it all off to RMEF.
   I would like to thank everyone involved in this 2007 Community Bow Projects, both Southern and Northern, and to all who contributed with support and comments. And thanks to Sarah and Marie and Primitive Archer Magazine for donating a complete set of back issues(except for 1 issue) that will go to the winners of the Southern and Northern Community Bow Projects. This was my 3rd Community Bow Project over the last few years and I'm sure it won't be my last.

That was a fine break-down of who did what SarahAnne! I enjoyed what little I did to help out, maybe next time I'll have enough experience to get a little more involved and work on some of that wood . It was very enjoyable to participate!!
