When I was a kid, we used to visit relatives in Southern Alabama and they had Catalpa trees. When the trees Bloomed, there were caterpillars that would come to visit to eat the blooms and the Old men called them catalpa worms and they harvested them and sold them as fishing bait, to all the farmers who tidn't have the trees. So I Remember Catalpa trees as a boy. Never thought I'd be carving it someday. If you are on the'List, you have first dibbs untilTuesday, then whorver wants him. Thanks for Looking.
