Two rolls in one day !

The collection continues to grow. Roll number 76 -  This summer Barb Folley's grandchildren from Greenfield, WI came to visit. Barb brought them to Darlington to see the log cabin I was building. One thing lead to another and I showed them the World Duct Tape collection and explained the Challenge Coins I give to anyone that gets a roll for the collection. They said that their neighbors Pero and Stoya Lakic were from Serbia and were going back for a relatives wedding soon. Kya and Griffin (Barbs grandchildren) talked to their neighbors and got this roll from Serbia for the collection.

Barb Foley with the roll from Serbia and the engraved Challenge Duct Tape coin.

The very same day, in the mail, I got a package from Dr. Barb Rothlisberg from Merrill, WI.

I had a good feeling about this being Duct Tape...

And sure enough it was. Maybe not the gray type that we are used to but close enough. The yellow one in front will be put on the map and the others stored. You can see the World Duct Tape coin and a list of rolls in the collection in the picture. I will send the coin out to Dr. Barb as soon as I finish this posting.

Two rolls on the same day! This roll/s were bought by Winnie Mucherah, Phd. Professor of Psychology at Ball State Univ. for 180 KES ( $1.75) (Kenyan Shelling  1 USD = 103 KES  1 KES = .009 USD) Winnie knows Dr. Barb Rothlesberg, a fellow professor. Barb is the sister of George Rothlisberg in Merrill, WI. I know George from working with him in the 70's at Darlington HS. And that's the story of roll #77 from Kenya.
