Chains

I have in my possession 3 closed loop 16 inch chains made of the same type links used in the tail rotor control of Hueys and Cobras. I also Have one control chain 40 inches long. All of these came out of the hulks we are melting down. I think that total would be enough to make at least 8 wrist bracelets of 10 inches length with about 8 inches left over for sizing. My problem is this. I don't make bracelets. I want these to go to the 119th guys so I am not going to try to break anybody's bank with this. I want Willie to come by and see me. Him and Tom Frankenfield each get enough to make a bracelet for themselves as a gift from me for covering my ass so long ago. Roy Daniel gets one because I think they look cool on Harley riders and we flew together in Nam. I think 10 inches per bracelet will be enough for each wrist bracelet. An old bearded gator from california named Greg/Gabby who camped with us should have one as a gift but I don't know how to contact him. Finally Rex Tompkins Is coming to my AO and should have one as a gift from us 1967 guys to a survivor of Hewetts flight. That leaves enough for another 3 bracelets if I can con Willie into making them.
I'd like some kind of small donation (in the form of a check made out to the "National Vietnam War Museum" for the remaining 3 if you guys think it is OK and can afford it. If Not, then you folks pick the men who get the other pieces.
Let me know.
Bob Taylor
P.S. I have 50 sets of crew wings Willie so when you come by bring the orders you have.
