Of all the trappers out there since Gordy started trapping in 1879 (LOL) how many actually get this honor, percentage-wise? Almost zero! Congrats! (how long was his acceptance speach?)

There are now 45 trappers in the Hall of Fame, largest number from NY.and most are deceased. Gordy reminded me about helping him do trapping training before it was mandatory, this was in 1972 . He also was one of those who wrote the book on it along with Al West and others (look in the manual) . The Old Mans speach was short! Here is exactly what he said --- "I feel like an athelete, my feet smell and my nose is running, thank you ". Then melted down. We had a tear or two in our eyes too.A great honor for those of us to take part in this great event with The Old Man.

They could not have given it to a better person, Gordy is one of a kind .for the short time I have known him he is always more than willing to teach me trapping and make you laugh .the stories he tells about traveling all over trapping last a life time, and the gennasee vally trappers would not be what they are if not for gordy and family . Congrats to one hell of a guy who gives everything to trapping .
