Guide Raffle for Andrew Luchovick Jr. Trust

[Capt. Larry D. Jones]

After talking with some other Guides that were close friends of Andy Luchovich Sr. we have decided to start a Raffle Ticket to Benifit the Andrew Luchovick Jr.Trust!The raffle ticket will have a number of Guides from around the U.S. & Canada offering guided trips for a full day from available dates in 2005.The raffle tickets will be sold all winter,spring and the drawing will be at the Mostly Muskies Chautauqua Lake Outing on August 29th,2004.
So far we have Capt. John Oravec(St.Lawerance River),Capt. Larry D. Jones(Niagara River),Guide Crash Mullins(Cave Run),and Guide Justin Mullins(Cave Run).We hope to have at least a dozen Guided Trips from all over the U.S. & Canada before we print the tickets.Any Guide that would like to be added to the raffle ticket please post here or email me.
Thanks, Capt. Larry

[Capt. Larry D. Jones]

We will keep working on getting a total of 24 Guides for the Raffle Ticket.Then we will sell them till August 29th of 2004.I think the best way to do the drawing for each Guide Trip is to pull 24 Raffle tickets,then let the 1st person pulled select the Guide Trip wanted and 2nd,3rd and so on.This way a person who wins has a chance not only to get a Guide trip with someone they would love to be on the water with,but can also choose the waters they would like to spend the day on.Someone at the end of the draw may get something they were not hopeing to get,but most will be happy to get a choice.

I beg to differ...what Larry Ramsel is doing is a good thing but he is no legend...he keeps statistics about legends. There is a difference.

[Capt. Larry D. Jones]

I myself think that if one is inducted to the Fishing Hall of Fame as a Legendary Angler and also to the Muskies Inc. Hall of Fame,in my book they are a LEGEND!You ae intitled to your opinion,you have mine and probably that of many others.I also think that if you don't like someone personaly there is a time and place to voice your opinion,but using a thread that is trying to do some good for a devistated little boy is not that place!

[Michael B]

I would like to suggest an additional, and very appropriate way to honour his memory.

Please consider donating to the Canadian Power and Sail Squadron:

<http://www.cps-ecp.ca>

It is a charitable, membership-type organization, incorporated under the Companies Act of Canada. Except for a small, paid staff - all teaching and administrative work is done by volunteers. CPS is non-governmental, non-regulatory and non-military. It is not restricted to boat owners, nor owners of large yachts. Purely and simply, it is a dedicated group interested in increasing safety and pleasure on the waterways, through education.

A donation to this fine organization will help prevent future drownings of the kind that claimed Andy Sr.

I wish everyone a safe season on the water.

Michael

[Scott Richardson]

Where are these for sale and how much?
