Folks; A very good friend and fellow bowhunter, 45 year old Jamie Seyler of Allenspark, CO, just had open heart surgery. He had rheumatic fever when he was small and it left a lot of scar tissue in his heart that finally caught up with him. They had to split his heart and take a good deal of scar tissue out and also replace some valves on the heart, then wire him back together. He also had some surrounding complications that had to be treated. He will have a long recovery ahead of him and will not be able to work for quite some time. He is a single father with a 9 year old boy, Jacob, who is a real little gentleman. I just gave Jacob a 25# longbow and all he wants to do is shoot arrows! Jamie is a really nice guy who I've hunted with and has always been a help to other bowhunters. He guided for elk and deer around Estes Park and Allenspark and everyone who hunted with him really had good words about him. Jamie has been self-employed as a carpenter and has no medical insurance, so Judy and I and our hunting buddy Duke Prentup set up a fund at our local Wells Fargo bank to try to help Jamie keep his house and help defray some huge medical bills. We are asking anyone who can help in any way at all to donate to Jamie's fund. I feel that we, as fortunate bowhunters who are healthy, need to step up and do what we can to help out a less fortunate friend. Donations can be made at any Wells Fargo Bank to the JAMIE SEYLER BENEFIT FUND BOULDER. Checks can be made out to THE JAMIE SEYLER FUND and sent to us at;

Thank you very much for anything that you can help Jamie with, and please forward this to anyone you think might help or any organization that could help. The bank does not keep a record of who donates to Jamie's fund when you do so at the bank. We would like to keep track of the donors names to give to Jamie at a later time. We just would like names if you so desire- not the amount of the donation. No amount is too small, so please do what you can. We would also take items that we could turn into cash in place of a cash donation if you so chose.
