Posted 11/02/2008 10:37:57 AM | | As many of you know, Jim Lammers of Cedar Creek Supply Depot passed away suddenly on Wednesday of this past week. Many of you may be aware that there is a memorial fund to assist Jim's wife and family in their hour of need. A fund was set up for the family through his many friends in the hobby, and donations have been coming in to the JIM LAMMERS MEMORIAL FUND, 1609 West First North Street, Morristown, TN 37814. Contributions to that have been greatly appreciated and are a godsend. Thanks to you who contributed, and to those who will after reading this notice.
In addition, to further assist Jim's wife and family, Camp Chase Gazette, The Watchdog, along with Todd Watts (Blockade Runner) and I are going to donate a de-farbed Armi Sport Enfield, and sell a limited number (150) of tkts for $20 a piece. Tickets may be purchased from The Watchdog, PO Box 1675, Warren, MI 48090. Make checks payable to the JIM LAMMERS MEMORIAL FUND. The tkts will be sold first come, first served until they are gone, and then the winner will be drawn and notified. All proceeds are going to the family. More details will be available on the Camp Chase Gazette website soon. Nobody who ever knew Jim Lammers did not come away from the experience better for it. This is the least we can do. He was a fair man who asked little of others in life, and we will do right by his survivors now. This Enfield is a honey, too. Whoever gets it is going to be grandest tiger in the jungle. It is a Tower 1862, makers mark under the stock JOSEPH WILSON, Anchor JS behind the trigger guard, BSAT roundel. Barrel maker stamped under the barrel, B'ham proof house marks, lock makers name stamped inside the lock plate. Stock recontoured and refinished with boiled linseed oil. I personally built the lock, timed the action and polished the parts.
