striper plug-makers 2005 in Middleboro MA?

[Martha Merwin]

Good Morning, Slipknot Bruce,

The 2018 Feb 24 PlugFest has caught my attention. How does it work for attendees?

I have some Alaskan Yellow Cedar to sell/donate:
21 -- 1-1/2" x 1-12" x 48"
20 -- 2" x 2" x 10-1/2"
1 -- 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" x 36"
1 -- 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" x 31-3/4"

Is there a market for plugs, new and used?
John's collection is mostly signed "Old John" and dated 2003 -- there are at least 40 fine pieces. I'd be happier offering/showing/selling them at PlugFest this year than online piecemeal.

Please let me know if any of this is of interest. I'm eastern-Massachusetts born and would enjoy a trip to Bourne, weather permitting.

Thanks,
Martha

Hi Martha, you are welcome to come along if the weather allows your travel. Bring along the wood and I would think someone would buy it from you, we usually have some supplies available at this event. I'm sure JohnR will accommodate you. Selling plugs is not the usual thing we do as we usually try to do more trading of plugs but I am sure nobody minds making an exception for you.

I will send a message

Hello Martha,
I can only hope that my better half reaches out as you have when it comes time to deal with some of my cherished fishing gear, supplies, and "stuff"....
I have always admired the needles in the mug, and am now glad to know who created them. Wish I had gotten to know John, but look forward to meeting you if you can make it down.
I am going to paste the NYT obit for the benefit of those here. I enjoyed reading it. You two were clearly a good team!
