Roll number 75 is from Malta. So in March of 2017 the word goes out that the Timber Framers Guild is going to build a 90 foot bridge at this years conference being held in Madison, Wisconsin and they are looking for help. As a member and having a keen interest in bridge building I get involved and help out.
To check out the bridge project here is a link and go to the 5/23/17 post bridges2thefuture.blogspot.com
The bridge designer Richard Latrobe-Bateman from England and his son Will are in Madison and while working on the bridge we get to talking about the World Duct Tape Collection. Imagine that! Will says that he is going to friends wedding in Malta in a few weeks and he will get a roll for the collection. When he gets to he castle (no kidding) he remembers the duct tape mission but everything is closed. But resourceful person that Will is he sees the DJ at the wedding reception using duct tape to hold down his wiring and Will makes a connection to secure the roll and a new friend. Great story Will and thanks for adding roll #75 to the collection. To see the list of all the rolls I have to date click on this link. ducttape2thefuturelist.blogspot.com
Maybe you or someone you know can get a roll for the collection and send it to me. When I get your roll I will send you one of the 1 in 200 red brass coins pictured above. It will be engraved with the countries name, date and roll number.
