Francis,

Parker, Cooper and Suzy! You were close. They are full brother and sisters.

No branch at all Francis - just one medium size chunk of ice.

Being new to this internet thing I seldom post, mostly out of fear, but usually out of correcting inproprities. In defense of Francis, if needed, Francis and I are long time friends. He has the same deep compasion for double guns that I do. In that consideration, I have brought him into the sacred, inner circle, known as the shop. He has seen things that many of us have only dreamed of. Processes and routine restoration techniques, long lost. Countless one of a kind guns. He is a sage, although long winded, His wisdom and knowledge is vital to the type of exchange that is the life breath of sites like this. Francis is proud of the work that we do, frankly, we are also.

Brad, yours is a very nice gesture re: your/our friend Francis but he needs no defense - we know him and who he is - he is one of us.
Yup, he does go on and on and even gets a bit side-tracked but a truer friend and a more devoted sportsman would be damned hard to find. And I don't know anyone else in this world who has a more encyclopedic knowledge of most anything we could toss at him.
