If anyone ever wanted to know about friendship and brotherhood, all they
would have to do is follow this thread. You guys, and gals, are the best.

Within 5 minutes of my original posting/request, I received a call from El
Zipolote in Clarksville Tennessee with a lead on a supplier of BSA stuff.
Then an hour later, a call from Chases Hawks in Garland Texas with an offer
of two patches (one of which is being picked up this morning). Then more
leads and offers of patches from around the world.

This plus all the other responses has truly overwhelmed my family, and we
can't even begin to express our appreciation.

To El Zip, Chases Hawks, Colleen, Dookiebear, Pockets, Brian, (and please
forgive me if I left anyone out) THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS.
Your thoughts and kindness will be carried with us always.

Your deeply humbled and not so obedient servant,  Ralph Rosen aka Barney Fife

The more I think of this, I do have my patch and my ribbon badge. It is one
my most cherished gifts. My two sons are in scouting and I am currently the
scout master. I personally know what being an eagle scout means and the
work it take to earn the badge for a young man. I would be willing to give
you my eagle patch. The badges all come from the national office and cannot
be replaced. Each badge is registered. Giving up one of my badges will not
take away the honor of being an eagle scout. It is just a piece of
material. It would appear your father in law thought highly of the scout
program. I do too. My number is 307-455-2440.
Best Wishes

Subject: MtMan-List: Turtle Shell Possibles Bags

Maybe one of ya'll can help me out.  I am getting ready for a rendezvous
this weekend and have made up a few snapping turtle shell possibles bags.
Does anyone know how much these go for?  Description: large polished shell,
inside shell has been lined with red flannel, heavy leather on back that
folds up to a flap.  Bags have one pocket and a braided shoulder strap.
Flaps are hand sewn with sinew and edges lined with horn bone pipe.

Any help would be appreciated, I do not want to ask too much but then I do
not want to give them away.

Thanks

Mine are lined with a cotton fabric with the outer being commercial buckskin.
 They have a carrying strap of buckskin.  Some with fringe on the bottom some
with mink tails.  The fringe have hand made tin cones on the ends. The
closing flap may be fox, coyote, or whatever.  The ones I have ready to trade
have a lynx head.  I have sold several for $65.00.

                                                      May 11, 1999

Mr. TORRICELLI (for himself, Mrs. BOXER, Mrs. FEINSTEIN, Mr. KERRY, and Mr.
LAUTENBERG) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred
to the
Committee on Environment and Public Works



                                                         A BILL

To end the use of conventional steel-jawed leghold traps on animals in the
United States.

     Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. DECLARATION OF POLICY.

     It is the policy of the United States to end the needless maiming and
suffering inflicted upon animals through the use of leghold traps by
prohibiting the import or export
     of, and the shipment in interstate commerce of, such traps and of
articles of fur from animals that were trapped in such traps.

SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.

     In this Act:

          (1) ARTICLE OF FUR- The term `article of fur' means--

               (A) any furskin, whether raw or tanned or dressed; or

               (B) any article, however produced, that consists in whole or
part of any furskin.

          For purposes of subparagraph (A), the terms `furskin', `raw', and
`tanned or dressed' have the same respective meanings as those terms have
under headnote 1 of
          chapter 43 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States.

          (2) CUSTOMS LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES- The term `customs laws of
the United States' means any law enforced or administered by the Customs
Service of
          the United States.

          (3) INTERSTATE COMMERCE- The term `interstate commerce' has the
same meaning given such term in section 10 of title 18, United States Code.

          (4) IMPORT- The term `import' means to land on, bring into, or
introduce into, any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States,
whether or not such
          landing, bringing, or introduction constitutes an entry into the
customs territory of the United States.

          (5) PERSON- The term `person' includes any individual,
partnership, association, corporation, trust, or any officer, employee,
agent, department, or instrumentality
          of the Federal Government or of any State or political subdivision
thereof, or any other entity subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States.

          (6) SECRETARY- The term `Secretary' means the Secretary of the
Interior.

          (7) CONVENTIONAL STEEL-JAWED LEGHOLD TRAP- The term `conventional
steel-jawed leghold trap' means any spring-powered pan- or sear-activated
device
          with two opposing steel-jaws, whether the jaws are smooth,
toothed, padded, or offset, designed to capture an animal by snapping closed
upon the animal's limb or
          part thereof.

SEC. 3. PROHIBITED ACTS AND PENALTIES.

     (a) OFFENSES- It is unlawful for any person knowingly--

          (1) to import, export, ship, or receive in interstate commerce an

          (2) to import, export, deliver, carry, transport, or ship, by any
means whatever, in interstate commerce, any conventional steel-jawed leghold
trap; or

steel-jawed leghold trap that was delivered, carried, transported, or
shipped in violation of paragraph (2).

     (b) PENALTIES- A person who violates subsection (a), in addition to any
other penalty that may be imposed--

leads to a conviction of a violation of any provision of this Act or any
regulation issued
     thereunder, an amount equal to one-half of the fine paid pursuant to
the conviction. Any officer or employee of the United States or of any State

     (b) EXPORT AND IMPORT VIOLATIONS-

          (1) IMPORT VIOLATIONS- The importation of articles in violation of

violation; and

          (3) execute and serve any arrest warrant, search warrant, or other
warrant or criminal process issued by any judge or magistrate of any court
of competent
          jurisdiction for enforcement of this Act (except with respect to
violations to which subsection (b) applies).
