Dear Trappermen and Ladies:

I am in need of pictures of famous trapper Johnny Thorpe for an exciting illustration project I am working on. I am needing EARLIER pics of Mr. Thorpe in his prime. His face must be shown, looking at the camera/viewer with his trademark cowboy hat. I need to see his eyes, or the pics are of no use to me. I will also need permission from you to use these in my drawing, so please note this before posting. If anyone out there knows how to get ahold of his son Jim, please pm me with info. The number I've called has a voicemail box that is full, I am unable to leave a message. I would GREATLY appreciate any help on this. Once again, I am looking for YOUNGER pics of Johnny, if possible, from 20 years ago or more. Sure hope someone can help!

Thanks so much!

Well, I know this isn't an older pic Joe, but I took this one maybe 8 or 9 years ago? Thought it did him well. Anyway, I'll delete it if you can't use it, just getting the ball rolling here. You do good work, sir. Maybe there are others who'd like a copy of this one.

Try leaving a text message. Those often get through to folks when voicemails don't.

Joe, You might try to get a hold of John Rockwood in NY. I know him and Johnny go way back.

You might want to get up with Jim Comstock. He and Johnny trapped together a long time ago.

Thanks, Paul. I called him and I think he might be able to help. I am hoping others will still contribute as well!
