Greg & Adam Hughes lost thier houses trailer in a fire on Friday evening 12/5/08. They were not home at the time so they are both fine, but they lost basicly everything that they owned to the fire or smoke and water damage. The fire started from their wood burner according to the firefighters. They both have a place to stay for the short term and when I talked to Adam tonight he was not sure what their long term plans are going to be. The East Holmes Beagle Club will be taking donations to help them out. If you want to help or have any idea's to help please feel free to contact me. My cell phone # is 330-231-8194 or contact the Hughes.

I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL MAKE IT TO THE HUNT IVAN BUT I WILL BE SURE TO GET WITH YOU TO MAKE A DONATION, ITS SAD THIS HAD TO HAPPEN TO SUCH NICE GUYS BUT AT LEAST THERE OK THATS ALL THAT MATTERS!!

clothing sizes? I have a few items that are really like new and I have "outgrown" them. My dryer must be too hot, everything shrinks. Size 36 is more like 32 these days.

Our club. CCBC has donated 100.00 dollars to Greg .This is not much but if all clubs would do the same it would replace clothing and food untel he regains his replacement home.
Just a suggestion on what every one can do to help.

Ivan, do you have an address we can mail money to? Maybe mail it to you if you can get it to them. These are two of the best houndsmen out there, great guys, hope many people find it in their heart to help. Let me know, thanks.

Here is an update on what is going on. I talked to Greg last night he said that they have plenty of clothes. The trailer and contents are a total loss. A few of us guys are planning on helping with clean up on Saturday 12/20/08 anyone who wants to help is welcome to show up. We have also found a used trailer that a local business is donating for Greg we will be taking donations to help cover the cost of moving this trailer and anything else we can. if you want to make a donation you can call me at 330-231-8194 or just send the money to me with a note my address is Ivan Mast 2804 Township Road 412 Dundee, OH. 44624. Thanks for all the help.

I will try to be there and help out a friend.

How about a benifet auction? Good guys had bad luck.I will help in anyway.

Ivan...

I spoke to the Ashtabula Couty Beagle Club officers last night, and we will match the $100 that the other clubs are sending. There's a check on the way from me as well...If there is anything else they need just let me know...

Thanks for all the help guys. We have been looking into moving the trailer and it looks like it is going to take around $2,000.00 to get the trailer inspected and moved and set-up. The East Holmes Beagle Club is donating all the proceeds from our hunt to day.

Ivan,

The deer creek beagle club had two hunts this weekend and we put out a can for people to donate money to help adam and greg during these tough times. The club also chipped in as well. The total we collected was $200 so the check will be in the mail. Thanks hope this helps out some.

Just thought i would give everyone an update. We have everything cleaned up from the old trailer and are waiting on the guy that is donating the new trailer to come back from vacation so we can transfer the title then it will be ready to move to Greg's lot. I want to thank everyone who has sent a money donation. We still need about $800.00 to cover the moving.

The Western Maryland Gundog Assocation will be donating the proceeds of their January 11th hunt to Adam and Greg Hughes.
