Re: Migratory Bird Permits
I have run into this here in Abbotsford. Last year to buy my stamp I had to go over to Mission to get it. Every office in Abbotsford I called was sold out and was told they were not getting any more. So once I call Mission postal office, they say they have lots. I zip over there, and the clerk says the Abbotsford main office has lots, as she was there yesterday. I let her know what the clerk said and she was surprised to hear that. I told her the name of the clerk and she would follow up as this person was known to be an anti-hunter. Her response to my appreciation of this was "I may not wish you 'happy hunting' but I understand what you are doing is our heritage and will sell you the stamp." Nice to find, for sure.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause."
-Theodore Roosevelt France, 1910
