Tradgang Hall of Fame week 2

[Terry Green]

Ok, again this is not a *bowhunting award*, its a "Tradgang" award from me to those that have contributed immensely here for years in different ways.  And, they are in no particular order, there are a LOT that will be added but I'm going to list them as I think of them or see them post.  I said 3-5 a week, but I'm going to list the mods and ten this week cause it's going to take forever if I don't.

Walt Francis, moderator for years  and countless hours on St Jude.

Roy Painter, moderator for years and putting up with me.

Garret Polk, moderator of and countless hours on St Jude.

Corry Mattson, moderator and hog hunting extraordinaire.

Please Terry and fellow Trad Gang brothers and sisters, accept my heartfelt gratitude in being recognized as a valued family member; as we all are. We continue to thrive as the bonds are both durably solid and resilient.

Dang....I sure didn't expect that! I come on here to read and learn. What a nice gesture Terry. Thank you.

[Ray Lyon]

 

I’ve learned a boatload from members here and I still remember Ron LaClair calling me back in 2003 and saying ‘you gotta send Terry a note to get on this new forum……’.  Well that was obviously years ago.  Some of my favorite threads of years gone by were the St. Jude’s selfbow donation build along where each person involved would contribute to a part of building an epic creation for the auction and of course it would fetch a handsome bid.  Anyway, thank you for the recognition Terry.

Thanks for the nomination Terry. And thank you all for helping to make this space special.

[Terry Green]

Roger, there's a few of you that have been here from the start, and your post numbers are deceiving.  Remember way back when we only had so much storage that we had to prune topics every 3 months? A lot of your post got nixed.

However,  during that time that's when all the really important posts got moved to several of the archive forums for safe keeping....

Thanks for being here all these years.

Thanks for the nomination Terry. And thank you all for helping to make this space special.

Garrett,  not nominated,...... inducted.

Yes Ray, Ron gave me one of the biggest compliments ever at his shop one day.  He said to me after I started Tradgang,  "We have been wondering who was going to carry the torch on the internet ". Yep, blown away again.

Thanks to you as well for all these years.

Ron bragged about your shop visits and the cigar’s you’d bring.  Good memories.  And yes, thank you for carrying the torch.

I am truly humbled Terry. I have learned so much from so many people here. I remember way back when in the Traditional Bowhunters of Georgia heyday when you first mentioned this venture. And look at what it has become! You sir are very special person in this worldwide community of Bowhunters!

[Walt Francis]

Terry,
Thanks, much appreciated.

Wow, I’m very humbled and honored to be included among so many big names. Tradgang had been a real game changer for me regarding my bowhunting. When I started shouting a recurve in 1990, there wasn’t much information for me outside TBM. I was a little late to the party when it came to the internet. But when I got “on line” in 2009,  I found Tradgang. Right off the bat Woodchucker introduced himself to me and as it happened we only lived a few miles from one another. From there on it was one friend after another. Also, I was a one bow man until I found Tradgang and it’s classifieds!! I’m very grateful to be a small part of it. Thank you! 

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Congrats gents.

[Russell Southerland]

Very deserving guys!!!
