Jerry, You are bringing back old memories. Yes, that was 9 years ago when I was trying to downsize my tying stuff. I managed to dispose of three large plastic tubs of Fur and Yarn. Some surfaced again when Rick Z recently sent some to a list member, I forgot who but I am glad someone is getting some use from it. I sent out over 30 packages of fur and yarn, need to do that again with some of the other stuff I am not using. LOL. Tony
