[d. ward]

Man you guy's I know this is probley not a good time and I truely truely mean no disrespect to anyone OK ?.This really sucks and makes me feel like sh*& for doing it.But please understand our lives must go on.You know we can't just moop around feeling bad all the time.I know I do sometimes and it ai'nt alot of fun.But here it is.I feel like crap about Alan passing away.I knew him for a long time just like most of you guy's.I even got to spend a few days with him in 1995 at Denton Hill and he was one of the best.Were all gonna really miss him alot.But guy's I'am in a pickle.I just wanted to ask,and if you get pissed at me about this post please please feel free to take a bash at me right now.I may darn well deserve it (maybe) I'am not sure myself if this is the right thing to do or not.But I know my work has to go on guy's.One other thing I'am pretty darn certin of too,Alan in no way would want us to just give up doing what he and us guy's love to do....so guy's I would not ask other then the fact of the pickle deal.I got work comeing out my ears and I am in need of dry transfers real bad.I do not and will not use those old water slides that 3r's used to sell no way not interested at all..But if anyone has any ideas on the dry tranies please let me know asap.And again guy's I feel bad too and I'am truely sorry if I affended anyone.But life must go on....Thanks dudes bowdoc

bowdoc, glad you posted the topic and understand your delima. I'm also in need and don't know where to turn. I never knew Alan but followed the accolades all of you who knew him posted.
He is surely going to be missed by a great many friends and followers. Hope you find a source for your needs and wishing one of you guys can find a way to help fill the void.
Fred

Thanks Fred for understanding...and if we don't find something pretty soon I am going to just take a day off work and go down town Seattle(I would rather have my butt kick...twice)and talk with a printer who offerd to help me with them.He knows what we need,but there's a certin type of printer that uses dry toner...don't ask me I' ai'nt got a clue.But if we have to.Thats what I'am gonna do.Maybe one of the gang is working on them and will respond.And again thank you Fred..bowodc

I am wondering if maybe Al had a bunch of them when he passed. Would it be innapropriate to contact his wife and offer to buy any he had bowdoc? Not trying to sound dis-respectful myself, I just know that Al would want them in the hands of his collector friends.

[d. ward]

Thanks Bill,I know we all loved and will miss Al alot.I am going to keep at this and if worse comes to worse.I will try and contact Mrs.Harford at some point.Somebody's going to have to start reprinting them though as we are going to run out sooner or later.I used to buy them by the sheet from Al and he would cut me a little deal.I would buy 3-4 full sheets with several different year logo's.But I'am going to keep at it and see what we can come up with....again Thank you Bill

Hey Don..I have a set in white for a Super K that Al had send me at one time. Yours if you need them...Mike

Don, I doubt that anyone would not want to continue to produce the transfers that you need to continue your work. it is sad that we continue to pass away but that is just part of the bigger picture please continue the tradition.

[Blackhawk]

That's a very thoughful post from you Bowdoc.

I'm sure you, Al, and all of us want the tradition to live on.  

Fred and Al are probably having a chat over this right now,  and I bet they would both appreciate your concern in wanting to keep those bows alive.

I'm sure Ms. Harford would understand.

OK I put my best man on it today.He is working on the white which is the problem child as most printers don't use white.Would make no since to have white when 99.9% of your printing is done on white paper.Maybe just maybe........bowdoc
