    What makes this scratch box turkey call something special is the wood for the box came from the demolition of the Greenwich Seminary Street School.  Lonnie was given a pine board from the school by Ed Copsey and Jack Earhart donated a bird’s eye maple board to the cause.  Lonnie made this call especially for the Greenwich Area Historical Society.
