    Does anyone remember a past Journal article on replacing upright back stop/catcher leather? I can't find it, and I'm beginning to believe I imagined it. If you remember this article, and know which issue of the Journal it was in, I would really appreciate it if you could let me know. 

    Thanks --

    If you contact the home office they will help with a search. I have found that helpful before.

    Thanks, Paul. Both those issues are before my time, but I do have the DVD collection so I do have access. Thanks!

    Thanks, Paul. The Journal CD's only go back as far as 1979, but the Spurlock article from from 1991 contained an excellent description of the job. I never would have found it without your recommendation. Thanks!
