By Dave Eckels. He’s a champion for the PTA and FTA. Very busy within our district. I applaud him on this undertaking. Just got the book in the mail today.

Lots of old photos and memorabilia inside.

I got a copy at the PTA convention. Dave said he worked on it for years.


John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Dave is really something else. He never fails to answer an email from me about a trapping or fur handling question. He has an awesome energy about him. Manned the banquet this year like a champ. I’m really proud of him

Dave did a great job and the book really came out well.

I’m pestering him about doing a photo book as a sequel with the mass amount of trapping history photos he accumulated though this project.

Dave is an amazing guy!

He doesn't get near the attention and accolades that he deserves.

having said that, I've never seen him seek attention and accolades; he's all about the sport of Trapping.

such a dedicated, talented, and humble man!
