Howdy Buck Nuts,
During the time I have been coming here I have come to know and [[ kinda sorta brotherly type of thing]] love all you guys.. I would not hesitate if in any part of the country to call on any of you guys close by to my assistance if I truly needed it as I hope any of you would also call on me ! Lord knows I called several when I got lost getting to Ohio!!!
Any way we have a ACTIVE BCCI life member that most likely would never have an opportunity to make it here for a face to face as there are only so many funds that are jest ear marked for the shelter and love of wife and kids And if any one knows how tight things can get I sure do! so with out further adue
I wanted to let you all know I will be kicking off a drive to raise funding to bring Herbert Noll
-Our friend here known as Haebbie-
To Post Falls, Idaho for the July- Buck Collectors Club inc meeting and celebrations..
Now why Haebbie well he posted on the forum a few times and I wrote him thinking he was some one else at first and though he was not the person I was trying to contact he was very nice and was most helpful! He was at first shy and concerned that his English would not allow him to be fully active and ALL you guys with me assured him that it was not a problem and we all welcomed him in to our forum family as a buck brother! He came to buy a lifetime membership in the BCCI as he felt so at ease and one with us buck nuts and wanted to be a part of some thing with us.
During this time all of you and I have watched him join in on all manner of topics and knife stuff!
He is a regular poster and made much effort to insure that we could understand what he wanted to express.
I know that at times he spent a LOT of time with a dictionary looking up what he needed to know so we could understand his thoughts as well as looking up odd words we used! Times I have wandered of him understanding my postings with out the help of a dave de-coder ring let alone the times I tried to use German! We all have had some fun and lots of laughs with German/English translation and phrasing!!!!
However, on a more serious note there have been a number of times that many of us in dealing with a transaction over in the EU found that there was some sort of difficulty and any time that any one has let him know, he has helped us out with bringing it to a good end
Most all of us have expressed joy, in hope of or planning to, attend the shindig in post falls this coming July.
In all of this Haebbie has cheered and encouraged us to make our goal to get there It came to me that he was doing this knowing he would not see it I for one dont even know if I will be able to make it there as there are medical issues my family faces. Nevertheless, I have hope to and I did not think he had even thought or considered that he could be there. Hummm .
All of us here have contributed to help meet different needs of others lives and that is the nature of those that collect buck knives. Having watched all of the guys here support worthy causes it came to Gold Dave & me at about the same time that hay jest maybe we could bring Haebbie here!!!
In this case it is not a charity or need of some one else It is some thing to do for our selves and for your self ~
A contribution / share to have a friend meet us at our house because we may never get the chance to go to his.
and that is how I and some others I have talked to feel of it as a group effort this is to bring him here, in other words you donate to this not as a charity but because- if you get to post falls your self then you can say
hi I am ______ and I am sure glad to meet you !!!or one of us there will say it for you!
i have said of this to him and he is most embarresed but yet so very prowd that any one, let alone the several that already suport this, would consiter doing this... truly we are crazy americians , i think he might say , to bring a friend here when we could not go there!
i say we are jest buck brothers extending a hand in welcome ...
what say we all... can we do this...
I will post some more on this tomorrow
Dave
