John McDonald's Birthday
« on: October 18, 2021, 10:20:23 PM »
Called John this afternoon to wish him a happy 92nd birthday, to tell him how glad I am to have a recurve (1996) and longbow r/d (2014) off his manufacture.  He thanked me a couple times.  Great to hear he is well.

Hello, Mike!  Where you been?  Haven't seen anything from you in quite a while.  Hope all is well.  Always enjoy your posts.

Been focusing on backpacking.  Just completed another 74.1 miles of the AT, Neels gap to Rock gap in 6 3/4 days.  Hoping to see a bear, no luck.  Just work, hike and bike.

I know John doesn't use the internet, but here's wishing him a happy BD anyway.  92, eh?  He doesn't look a day over 90. :bigsmyl:

Well the squirrelly old bow maker is still out there and living  :goldtooth:  Good for him and his kin.....I know getting old ain't easy and it's good to hear he is taking calls and doing his thing.

Told him I was very proud of his recurve (1996) and his D/R longbow (2014).  I recall he tried to talk me out of the 65# recurve, and am glad he didn't!!!  I'll be carrying it this year, give the longbows a break.

It was good to talk with him.  He repeated a few questions, but all in all good for 92.  I hope to make this an annual occurrence, with perhaps an extra time thought-out the year.

I'll be rocking his 50's style/Bear model recurve this year.  Have several sets of arrows that will fly well from it with good three blade heads.
