Howard Hill's Grave Restoration Project

Renowned and well respected bowyer and Hill aficionado Steve Turay of Northern Mist bows has started a project to repair and restore Howard Hill's grave site.  It is badly eroding and there are no funds for the upkeep available to the cemetery.

Here is the message from Steve:

"Since moving to Alabama I have had the opportunity to visit Howard Hills  grave in Ashville several times. The grave is in very poor condition. There is a retaining wall on two sides of the grave, a large section of the wall has fallen down. The soil is beginning to erode from the right side of the grave.
A few months ago I decided to do something about it. I contacted the caretaker of the cemetery to see if they had any plans on repairs. The gentleman informed me that they have no money to make repairs, they only get a few dollars to keep the grass cut. The cost of repairs and maintenance are the responsibility of the family. I asked if I could have it repaired and he said that would be fine.
 I talked with a contractor who has agreed to do the work. He's planning on starting around the 1st of April.
I'm looking for donations to help fund this project. I have started an account at Wells Fargo to house the funds until the project is complete.
If you would like to help out you can contact me at 906-458-5035 or nmlongbow@gmail.com and I can give you details on how you may contribute.

Thanks everyone " 

Lets spread the word and give this legend the proper respect and care.

 

UPDATE!

Steve had great participation from the traditional archery community and was able to begin restoration.  Looks awesome Steve!

The project is now complete! Thanks to everyone for their support.  Extra money was donated to upkeep the cemetery in the name of Howard Hill.  Everyone should feel proud of this project. Thank You Steve!
