Thanks, Jim, for the reaffirmation of the Dette/Darbee/Miner/Hebert/Whiting lineage. I acquired one of Andy Miner's pale watery dun rooster necks in the mid-70s when I was living in Minnesota, and I didn't think I would ever be able to replicate the color. Since the Hebert/Miner necks became available from Whiting, it's a snap. What I haven't been able to get again is the fabulous spade hackles that were on the original Miner neck.

Gotten rid of the snow yet? :-)
