That's clever,Chris. As I recall, there were several respectable magazines of the same size as Playboy, back in my school days.

Kevin, I have a pretty short attention span. I had to come back to your post twice before I got the whole title.
Island time, being what it is, if I ordered a copy today, it might be here by the new year.

I know ,I know ,and you did too ...but you just forgot .

I got the blame for my older brothers stash I was likely 10 at the time - he was 16 ,I got a noble arse burn from that ...Mom never questioned the fact that they had to be mine ,not my angelic teenage brothers ...I never had a clue what they were until that point ,Mom waving them in my face before the smackdown.....I was still playing with Gi Joe's up until dear old Mom inadvertently showed me the "bird's and bee's"!!!!!

Damn brother , never did own up to it

a nice anniversary reprint - with a little extra booklet on his "little gun"

[Dean Romig]

I've been contemplating that for about three weeks now.
I'm trying to justify it... I have a first printing as well as the 1970 reprint. The only thing that attracts me is the bonus booklet... so I think I will order it.

When I was allowed entry into the main kennel house / office at the Glen Rock Kennels where Skeet was developed I climbed up into the low attic where a bunch of old junk was stored... I almost half-expected to find Foster's .410 AHE all dusty and buried under some old boards. I spent quite a while looking through that junk but at last succumbed to the fact there was nothing of value there, other than the chestnut dog boxes.

WHF is one of the most, possibly 'the' most (arguably) celebrated figure in American Upland Sporting history.

Having that 20 ga. DHE skeet gun "thrust" into my hands was somewhat akin to finding a 'holy grail' with documentation that the owner won his class at the Glen Rock skeet field.
I have yet to find out who the other two winners were who shot with him that day... like who could have been the 28 gauge winner...

A real conversation starter in London pubs, when asked where I'm from and what I do, is to say accurately among many other things I'm a trapper from the north woods, and in my younger days of muscle and exercised sinews, to venture in those lively east-London Irish pubs that the Irish were traitors to the Commonwealth. The regulars caught on well before the bartender yelled "Time, gentlemen" but they were always occasions of great fun for all of us---mostly. Rarely have I found what we call on this side a "typical Englishman." Members may find interesting Franklin's imperial past before ridding himself all of it for American independence in "Benjamin Franklin in London: The British Life of America's Founding Father."

Lets see how good the new security system works. That is, when the live in pet minder isn't there.
