I’ve thought about it…going to another taxidermy show, just for the fun of it. It would be hard as I’ve been burned on the taxidermy industry as a whole….
burned, betrayed…whatever you want to call it. However I’ve been made aware that I have a lot of friends left and for that I’m grateful.
But, my last memory is the voicemail I left Chris Barnhardt asking him to call me back on a Sunday…
I offered to write for him at the SC show because I knew his arthritis was getting to him and writing may be difficult.
Two people taught me the art and the love of taxidermy…my husband, Bryan Stillwell, who still continues to amaze me to this day and Chris Barnhardt.
Chris had a natural talent that could not be surpassed….a God given ability to recreate nature, to show it as it was when living. Chris stood up for me, he believed in the same things that I did…..he was one of the few…..
Will I ever go to another taxidermy show…..I hope so, but it won’t be the same.
