Christmas 2015 Greetings, AAPK Members!
Christmas 2015 Greetings, AAPK Members! Gosh, where does time go? Sometimes, it seems stuck and others, it just flies at warp speed. I think the warp speed is what it did (for me at least) for most of this year. Hope all of you are well and healthy and happy and enjoying playing with your favorite k...

Re: 2014 Johnnie Fain Memorial Christmas knife auction
Happy New Year! Hope you all have had a Joyful Christmas and are beginning the New Year in good Health. I’ve been trying to think of words that are not the same as the ones that I’ve probably already conveyed over these past years which will let each of you know what is in my Heart. It’s hard to put...

Letter from Annettee Fain
Dear AAPK Members – My apologies for the delay in getting this letter of Thanks and Gratitude out to you all – I’ve had computer and internet issues.

Merry Christmas from Annettee Fain
Merry Christmas AAPK! This Christmas finds me living in a new-to-me house. Yes, I sold the house that Johnnie and I bought many years ago. I moved into a smaller house closer to my work and to friends. It was a little hard to say good-bye to the house that we had lived in for so many years; yet my d...

From Annettee Fain
Some of you may be wondering why I haven’t had the courtesy to acknowledge your auction and the funds that were sent to me. I apologize for my delinquency in letting each of you know my appreciation. Why have I not responded in a timely manner? I’ve decided to sell my house and I’ve been busy trying...

Hi - This is Annettee Fain
I received a letter from Bryan and a check from the proceeds of an auction in which Knifekid donated a knife. Once again, the AAPK Members know how to make me feel special and ease my heart. March 18th signified 1-year since Johnnie's passing. In a way, it seems like a hundred years ago, yet in othe...

Re: New Year Greetings from Annettee Fain.
A friend of mine gave me this picture that she took at Johnnie and my 25th wedding anniversary. Since many of you have seen more recent pictures of him, I wanted to share with you the Johnnie that I remember before he became ill. I love this picture because the sparkle in his eyes shows how mischiev...

Re: New Year Greetings from Annettee Fain.
Thank you so much for your kindness. And, yes, things are getting better. For a while, I didn't think it ever would. However, things change and life goes on. We have to change with it and embrace that change in order to find happiness and contentment. I can't say that a day doesn't go by that I don'...

Re: better leg knife pics
hey nan, the latest book value for a small case r297 is $450. this value is for a knife that is just as it left the factory. your knife is very nice, but, it is used. the value in today's market is subject to many factors. selling it on ebay will probably get a fair price. however. sometimes bidders...

Re: From Annettee Fain to AAPK Members
Thanks to you for your replies and comments. No, Justold52, I haven't bought any new knives - I have plenty that I'm not sure what to do with and some that I will sell. Thanks for the offer to fix my computer, Willie - wish I had known that before I purchased a new one. However, I'm up and running w...

Mild Bill suggested that I go here to the site to see all of the posts from members concerning Johnnie's passing. I cannot tell you all how truly touched that I am.
