Dean Murphy, who is mentioned in the cover feature, "Love of old lures" in the February 2009 issue of
Discover Mid-America, sent us a copy of his book
Fishing Tackle MADE IN MISSOURI History and Identification.
At first glace, Murphy's book in interesting, well organized and a sure attraction to collectors of fishing lures and those interested in the history of fishing.
In a note Murphy included with the book, he mentioned he was looking for a place to house his collection for public viewing, hopefully something along the lines of The Karl and Beverly White collection at the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks, OK – part of the Feb. '08 cover feature.
"I would like to fnd somewhere in Missouri to get it displayed after I pass on. I am 86," said Murphy.
If you're interested in his book or have any ideas for him to display his collection, email Dean at dam@socket.net.
