Folks - I got this in an email yesterday. I'm looking with all the big organizations and should find something but I'm going all out on this one and asking EVERYONE! When you read it, you'll see why.
"Hi am a Mother of a Son of 19 , He is terminal with AlS or also know as Lou Gerrig Disease he was diagnosed at the age of 15 and he is a Avid Hunter he hunts every season but last year was his first successful year in hunting Turkey will he is hooked and he has a dream of having a Grand Slam he took his first Eastern Turkey last year and found it so exciting. I am trying to find him a hunt for rio grand turkeys and as I understand Babe Winkleman help support the Disable Hunters Eric has hunted with U.S.S.A. Bridged Odonnahu and was able to guide this pass year a young man in a deer hunt Eric was so grateful for the hunts he was able to do before the age of 18 but it seems now that he is over the age of 18 it so hard to find hunts for the Terminal young men he still has this dream that I would like to see come true as his mother his dreams are mine . Can you help? "
PS - They're in Indiana. Don

Thanks guys. I appreciate it a lot and I know this young fellow will absolutely love the opportunities. I'm trying to get a hold of his mom to get an OK to share her contact information with you. I know she'll say "Sure" but it's just one of those little things that I am so careful about. As soon as I get a hold of her I will PM her contact information both to you Reo and hogdogs. Don

Reo is taking him out turkey hunting soon!!! An absolutely awesome deal and is was all make possible through R&S!! Thank you so much! You're going to make one young man seriously happy! GF, do you have any R&S Tshirts left? This young man is probably going to be filmed taking his turkey and I think an R&S shirt would look really cool. If you have some let me know and I'll buy him one and get you an address to ship to. Don

Eric's mother contacted me this evening and was very excited!
It sounds like Eric and his cousin will be making the trip together this spring. The plans are in the making and I assume she and I will be discussing this venture in further depth in the next coming weeks.
Mom sounded like she would like to watch her son take a nice bird, so we are trying to get them out as well!
It would be nice to see these folks in a R & S shirt when we take the pictures. If it weren't for this web site I would not have heard about Eric.
I wonder what we could do about getting this young man a brand new Turkey call for his trip!?
I have a friend that makes wing bone calls from your turkey, I am going to get him involved as well!

Wigs!
Thanks for stepping up! That would be great and I am sure he will be thrilled! I hope he lets me play with it once! It is absolutely gorgeous! Make sure some information comes along with it for me!
I have spoken with GF and we are trying to gather up a few things to present to him upon his arrival.
It gives me a great feeling to know there are still folks around that will help someone in need whom they don't even know! Kudos to the membership of this site!
This is going to turn out to be a hunt of a lifetime for him.
I have to get some more scouting done and a comfortable blind set up for him in the next few weeks!
Thanks again all!

REO,
Shoot me an email with your address so I can get that over as soon as I get it. I should get it any day. I will see what else I can drum up.
