GOOD
MORNING BILL:
It has been a powerful long time since being in touch with you. Recall
you writing about making contacts in Singapore, Indonesia.....Thailand.
Certainly a credit to you for all your researching.
A
SPECIAL YEAR.....with completion of my work on "POULTRY OF THE
WORLD". But then....a set/back. The publisher who for four years strongly
interested to publish the book backed out due to bad economics....the
recession, plus the high cost to produce the book with 673 color pictures.
Now....have
a firm in Canada who is very much interested to publish it.
THEN
A BAD YEAR:
September 26th my dear wife passed away....I miss her so much. It helps
to keep busy.
I AM NOW COLLECTING CHICKEN FIGURINES,
ROOSTER CARVINGS....porcelains.
Perhaps
you can help me????
Am enclosing $10.00 to show good faith to pay
for it. NO RUSH! When you find one that is good, please let me know as
to the price and will send the $$$$ price difference.
My
collection is extensive. Some day it will go to a poultry museum.
SNOW
IS IN THE FORECAST HERE.
My guess is that you do not get snow in Australia. Enclosed is a sheet
that will give you an idea as to what: "POULTRY OF THE WORLD" is all
about.
KEEP
UP THE GOOD WORK.
