Hey Guys
I donated over a $1000 worth of trips for my good friend Smokey to help him get on his feet. Why are they not on the board to bid on????
Wouldn't they pull more dollars that way....
Just curious
Sorry for the double post

Tony,
The Twin Cities Chapter submitted the items on the MuskieFIRST auction board. We provided the forum for them. I suspect your donations are being saved for the live auction tonight in Minnesota.[:bigsmile:]

Thanks guys for the info
Just wanting to see Smokey benifit as much as possilbe, he's a terrific guy.
Also my hats off to the guys who organized this and MuskieFirst for helping out. This and other auctions like it shows what tough old muskie hunters are made of.

Tony:

I started to type a long response with explination of what happend. I type slowly and deceided to phone you instead. I went to the kymuskie website and got your 1-800# and called and left a voice message at that #. I want to talk to you personally to explain what happened. I owe you that. I left my home phone # with my voice message. You can try me at that #. I will be in and out today,running last minute errands for the auction and also I will be online so you will most likly get my voice mail. If we don't connect today, I will keep calling your 1-800# until I reach you. I want to clear the air and apologise personally for my screwup.

The screwup was mine and mine alone. We had intended to inclued your donation for online bidding. I want to aplogise to you and everyone else for the problems. Also, the staff of muskiefirst had nothing to do with this. The fault is mine and mine alone. We will auction off your donation at the live auction tonight.

For now,until we talk, I hope you accept this apology.

Also, the best time to reach me is around noon on most days. My wife and I work odd hours,in the morning I'm still sleeping and the afternoon I'm at work. I"ll keep trying your 1-800# until we connect. If you have a different phone # that you want me to call, leave that on my voice mail and I'll contact you at that # if you prefer.
