I have heard from Jim Durdin and he has graciously declined his winning of this lot of goodies. ??? No, Jim has decided he has enough whistles and didnt really think it out before entering the raffle. So he wanted someone else to have a chance. FORTUNATLEY, after I drew Jim’s name, something made me pick one other and put it aside…just incase. The rest of the entries I disposed of…garbage man got them at 7am today!
So…our new winner is…PAM COURCY!!! Pam, please send me your mailing address…I deleted all the emails aready and now I don’t have it! As soon as I hear from you I will get these goodies in the mail to you ASAP!
What a surprise…Jim gets a round of applause for being such a gentleman…he could have easily taken the whistle and resold it if he didn’t want it. Cheers to Jim!
OOOPPS! I was so thrilled I just posted my reply to the first “winner” message instead of the second one! What a klutz! Let’s see if I can edit these properly…there.
–So anyway, what I was trying to say was…
Waaayyy cool! I’ve never won anything like this before!

Many thanks to all who extended congratulations after Andrea announced I was the winner. That felt good.
Andrea deserves all kinds of kudos for her raffle. It feels really nice to be part of such a wonderful “family” here on the forums.
Pam, enjoy! Tom M. who goes by E = Fb says he can tweak a Susato and improve it significantly. You might want to touch base with him to get some pointers if the whistle doesn’t exactly suit you.
Geez, to lose twice on the same thing… I don’t think my feelings can stand it.
Nah, I’m just teasing… congrats Pam!! I think it’s absolutely wonderful that a new whistle player has won the raffle, and that you now have the chance to fully develop your WhOA-- every good whistle player has it you know!
Jim, you’re one heck of guy!!
The other non-raffle-holding,
Andrea ~*~
