COOOL!! That made my Day, Thanks.......Raven      

Very nice Ron!  

Ron wrote this a few years back. I remember sitting around a campfire at the Fred Bear Memorial Broadhead shoot and Ron recited the poem by fire light. Even the little kids sat and listened. It was cool.

Do you realize what a wonderful place this has become? To gather such minds as Torges, Thomas, La Clair and even a gent, known as Ferret, who though humble of personality and physical stature, is a poetic giant. My only regret is that on some future cold winter day I won't be able to go to my library, dust off a well worn journal and renew an old yet familiar friendship with these fine gentleman. Thank you Ron for your contribution and thank you Terry for making the thoughts and wisdom of the extraordinary so accessible to the ordinary.

Way cool! That is going on my shop wall with all the other really great sayings and poems. Curtis

Sorta figured ol' Armstrong would be a tad lonely, and would appreciate a fellow intrepid!

I have the issue of TBM and remember the poem.

On Flintims thread about "yew folks" Ron has posted another peom about English Longbows if y'all like this one.

Ron, do you have copies available of this poem? Or is this a TBM exclusive? ~Rick  

Always loved that pic, and the poem.

Thanks !  

what issue of TBM was this in?  i get the mag. and don't remember seeing this.  if i had i'm sure i would remember and a copy would be tacked to the frig.  tried to copy it from the thread but only got the pic. and the left side.  kinda gives you chills, don't it?  Dave.....

THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing that with us. This is such a great place. I haven"t met any of you , but feel like you are family. God Bless you all.

Thanks guys I'm glad you like the poem. I wrote the Ghost Of Armstrong Creek several years ago and it's my favorite poem that I've written.

The picture is from Michigans UP near my deer camp and is the actual Armstrong Creek that inspired the poem. For those that have seen the picture with the buck in the canoe, that was also Arm Strong Creek

A couple of years ago I was ask to recite the poem at the "Campfire Conversations" at the Compton Rendezvous. In the late evening atmosphere around the crackling fire everyone enjoyed it, especially the kids.

I have some copys printed up on heavy parchment suitable for framing that I usually sell at shows but for anyone of the TradGang Family that would like one I'll send a free copy. Just email me your address.  

email sent....
