Well guys i got this email from Dave [gd -golddigger] and he has an idea that i like a lot ... this was his thought on his own, but i think we can all make it happen!!!

here is part of his email :::
....I don't think I would sell my Buck collection for that. ...
...What about a fund for haebbie like the one that was taken up for Maverick to get our Deutsch-lander to Post Falls? I think he would feel flattered at the gesture...
.... I hope Karen is doing better
Take care Dave-
Dave

basicly i like the thought of bring Haebbie here.
now Haebbie you need to let us know if you would be able to come and wont go AWOL like Mav has ?
so if Mr. Noll is willing and able ....
how about it guys do you think we can raise enught to bring him here?
so far two of us do !!! i will check in as ticket price ect... but likely 1300.
Also i have a nice knife or two i will donate as drawing prize or auction off for fund raising!
later Decaf Dave {DD}
 
Dave,
I'm on your side (I think). However, could you clear this up for those of us (me) that are currently real confused?
 
well i get excited and some times don't say things i think so others will understand.

GD Dave brought up the idea of a fund for bringing Haebbie from Germany to post falls next year... i like it but i was chicken to bring it up in public un-tell some one else said of it also...
so the question is if Haebbie Noll says he would come...
how many of you guys would donate some to a fund to bring a life time BCCI member here for the 25 year meeting?
sorry for the confusion, brain and fingers tired...
decaff dave- DD
 
I have a weak spot for you, Germans, and Bucks:D

So yes, I'll kick in some cash if he can make it.

Yeah, I'll 'fess... Haebbie is a real gentleman. A Man of class and elegance. He puts a great deal of effort in translating our nonsense here and responds to us outside of his native language. I, for one, would not be an interesting read if I were to communicate in Deutsch. I may not be an interesting read anyway but our fellow Buck Lifer on the continent has earned a show of respect, and if nothing else, this gesture of acknowledgement. Hopefully, Haebbie, you will not be embarrassed by our desire to extend gratitude towards you!?! I guess I will throw up a 'give-away' knife too and knowing Decaf, I suppose mine will be a fixed blade for those of us that are 'fixed'!
Weigh-in as you feel....Thanks Ohen for the quick show of support.

Just nod your head
he also suports this - its jest he dont want to admit he can read decaff:p...
 
well, jest checked my email and hope it wont make Haebbie blush by posting it..
but will risk it as i am as excited as he...


my friend,

it's crazy! I like the Idea to travel to post falls to meet all the infected guys at the place were the infection is always provided with new food. I like to meet all the guys wich took me in the circle of BF members seeing Haebbie as a new member and not as a meddler that disturbs the quietude of the forum. I feel flattered and honored and somewhat embarrassed .... And, Dave, my friend, it would be great to meet you as my good friend who always has some kind words and good doings for me during he has more than a lot to do with his own problems.

It is crazy also, that two people came to the same idea within a short time. I don't know what to say. It makes me very proud. I feel like a kid fist time seeing a Christmas tree

Well, Dave, I like to come. And now I have to go to Carina to tell her what happens here and have to mail GD-Dave how he comes to the idea to start a fund for the crazy old German knife collector too.

I can't believe it
Take care,
Herbert

so i know he would like to come ...but like us he will have to check with the other half to make sure things will be OK at home and at work also... thoughts from any one in the group will be most appreciated and welcome even if as devils advocate
 
Come on here, Dave, to get your rubdown from me!

The mail was for you and not for the community.

But the heck with it. All is said, so it is needless to post anything else, as I didn't knew what to write in the forum anyway

But one word: I am very impressed what happens here.

Many, many thanks, Guys!!!

Herbert

did you mean to say knock down ? and i earned it i believe
sorry my friend- i hope deeply felt apologies will be accepted...
and i will keep email away from forum from now on...:thumbup:
only that gold Dave and i are excited that this may work
is my excuse for privacy infringement :o
i did not have decaff coffee this morning so am wired a little...
 
Than's an convincing argument, Dave,

with this Background you can publish everything you get from me at every time. ;) :) :D

Best,
Haebbie
 
Am I to interpret that 'Goose may choose a side? C'mon folks...it is haebbie! I presume some of us feel snakebit over the last fund raser(?) but if I may offer, this is a different situation with a totally different guy. I first joined in the fun and games here while the 'other situation' was developing and what I saw was a very kind spirit among the regulars. I wasn't involved. I picked up some details along the way of how things turned into a debacle. Does the spirit still reside? Perhaps this time it is not wild abandon but a little more calculated adventure? Okay, some got bucked (sorry {for the pun and financial}). Who lives to ride the horse again? I stand by my conviction statement...C'mon, it is haebbie!
Dave
 
LOL...

I'll do it for ya in haiku GD...

Where is Maverick
Has he flown the coop
Idaho awaits

:) ;)

Ahh, an educated man! Nice!
Oh I had better get in a knife reference....I really like the monogram script on my EDC 'Goose. I saw the bolster on one of your Customs and knew I had made a good choice:thumbup:
 
excelent idea to bring herbert.
he's a very nice guy,wich i had positive experiences with like many others here!
if one deserves it its herbert :)
