Martin Pro Outdoors in Royse City was the winner of the auction. The value that anyone could have purchased from my website for those 120 jigs is $72 plus shipping. Martin was kind enough to bid and won at $155. Today, I received the check and made the call to Mr. Ray G. Bush, president of the VVA Chapter #1013 in Grand Prairie to inform him. I also shot Martin Pro Outdoors a PM to inform him of receiving the check, and that I will mail out his 120 jigs tomorrow. Postage of jigs is one me... I will obtain a Bank Check in the exact amount of $155 made out to VVA Chapter #1013 (fee of obtain the bank check, if any, is on me).... Mr. Bush set up a meeting with me and several other VV to meet on this coming Monday in G.P. I will try to have a simple photo taken of them upon receiving your kind gift at that time, and I will post updates...
Please support Martin Pro Outdoors on your marine needs simply because this is a good biz runs by good people!
Thank you Martin! Thank you to all who read/posted/bid!
I will have another auction very soon...
PS: If anyone knows of a family with small children of a Fallen Hero in N. Texas, please shoot me a PM (Please don't post any of their personal info in public forum. I will seek their approval before posting anything), I will do another exact auction, but this time, 100% of the proceed will go to the Children of Our Fallen Hero in N. Texas. (since the anticipated amount from a small simple auction like this won't generate much cash, I would like to keep it local to one family of a Fallen Hero in order to have a small impact)
Once again, thanks so much for your support!

I am not the only one. Lots of us are...,including my Chase Bank. Just got the bank check made out in full amount to VVA chapter 1013, and Chase waived the fee on its check. Thank you many and Chase!
