Jay, I had a daughter. I bought her a 410, bought her the camo clothes, took her to gunshows. Even bought us English Setters. She went bird hunting but wasn't really into it as I hoped she'd be. Years later she gave me a grandson who just loves to go hunting. I started him the way I started. I refurbished an original Red Ryder and gave it to him. He was shooting at everything that ran or flew! I've since got him a 410 and my old H&R 20. I don't get to see him as much as I'd like because of the distance between us. I do know he and his little brother will each get a Parker one day! He's already picked one out, not the prettiest, but it is one of my favorite English stocked VH20s.
Thank you for your post Jay.
Chris
