JIM FRAZIER WAS THERE AND TOLD ME HE BOUGHT MOST OF THE MINK FOR $18 MALES AND $15 FEMALES. SAID TOP END 3XXX COONS $22 AND A SHARP DROP IN SIZE TO $16 AND $12 AFTER THAT. RED FOX 40-ISH, COYOTES HE BOUGHT ALL THE JUNK HE SAID ABOUT 60 FOR A $6 AVG. HE SAID ONE IN 25 BROUGHT $40-ISH. RATS 10-11-12. NO IDEA OF ACCURACY ON THIS, JUST REPEATING WHAT JIM TOLD ME. HE SAID AN ALAN MILLER FROM NORTHERN INDIANA AND A BUYER FROM WISC BOUGHT MOST OF THE FUR. FORGOT, HE SAID BEAVER WENT WAY HIGH, LIKE $40 ON GREEN BLANKETS. HE THOUGHT THAT WAS CRAZY AS THE MARKET ISN`T THAT GOOD AT ALL, NOT EVEN CLOSE. i WAS SURPRISED PRICES WERE THAT GOOD CONSIDERING THE RECENT HAPPENINGS.

I was working and didn't go.
Its weird about the WI beaver buyer. You would think he could get all he wanted closer to home.

i REMEMBER A 7B SALE WAY BACK IN THE LATE `70S WHEN WE USED TO RUN 1/4 MILLIOMN DOLLARS THRU THE AUCTION. 7B HAD OVER 700 MEMBERS AT THE TIME. WE LIVED ON MCGREGOR RD IN INDY THEN IN A 100 YEAR OLD FARMHOUSE. RICK KLENE FROM GREENSBUG AND SEVERAL OTHERS CAME UP THE NIGHT BEFORE AND SLEPT IN THE FRONT ROOM ON THE FLOOR WITH A FEW BLANKETS AND PILLOWS. IT GOT DOWN ABOUT 20 BELOW ZERO THAT NIGHT AND THE FURNACE WENT OUT. KATHY AND i AND THE KIDS WERE ALL SNUG IN BIG BED WITH LOTS OF BLANKETS, AND AN ELECTRIC BLANKET. WE HAD NO CLUE THE OIL LINE FROZE UP. NEXT MORNING THERE WAS ICE IN TE CATS BOWL IN THE KITCHEN. i`M HERE TO TELL YOU, THOSE WERE SOME COLD BOYS IN THE FRONT ROOM COME MORNING. HECK WE WERE ALL YOUNG THEN AND NOBODY CARED. WE`D MAKE 20 G AN AUCTION IN COMISSIONS FOR THE CLUB BACK IN THOSE DAYS. NOW IT`S ALL GONE OR NEAR SO AND MEMBERSHIP IN THE TANK, RELATIVE TO "OTHER TIMES".

BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE. WE HAD TIME TO FISH AND GIG FROGS THEN. HAD PET RACCOONS COME IN AND OUT THE HOUSE AS ALL THE WINDOW SCREENS HAD NOT DOGGY DOORS BUT COONY DOORS. ONCE HAD A PET GROUNDHOG THAT CAME AND WENT BY COMING IN AND OUT THRU A REGISTER IN THE FLOOR. WHEN WE FIRST GOT MARRIED WE BOTH WENT TO THE DENTIST AS WE HADN`T BEEN FOR YEARS. HE CHARGED US $35 AND WE HAD $4.36 CENTS LEFT TO OUR NAME AFTER WE PAID HIM. CAN`T REMEMBER EVER DO WITHOUT ANYTHING, ALWAYS PLENTY TO EAT, AND LOTS OF HUGGING TO STAY WARM AT NIGHT. WE BOUGHT CHICKEN BACKS AND NECKS FOR 9 CENTS A LB AND HAD A BAKERY WHERE ON SATURDAYS WE COULD GET ALL WE COULD FIT IN A BIG PAPER GROCERY SAC EVEN STEPPING ON THE STUFF TO SQUISH IT DOWN FOR $1. BREAD AND DONUTS AND PASTRYS OF ALL KINDS. WE COULD LIVE ON $3 A WEEK PLUS WILD GAME. AND WE DID AND SAVED MONEY AT THE TIME, EACH WEEK SET SOME BACK. MADE 60 CENTS AN HOUR THEN. GAS WAS 19 CENTS A GALLON. i REMEMBER USE TO BE GAS WARS AND SOMETIMES DOWN TO 14 CENTS. THAT WAS MID 60`S. MAN i`D LIVE IT ALL AGAIN IF i COULD. LIFE IS THE TRIP OF LIFE THAT`S THE FUN. i FEEL REAL BAD FOR ANYONE THAT NEVER GOT TO TAKE THE TRIP, JUST BORN WHERE THEY ENDED.
