Now It Begins - Needles and Pins

[Dean Romig]

Grace and me and BIL Jamie are headed for Grouse Camp tomorrow...
but first, Kathy and I will be doing a bit of celebrating tonight on our 49th wedding anniversary.

Jamie shoots a really nice Trojan 16 with 26” barrels choked IC/MOD and it carries like a 00-frame 28 gauge it’s so light!

I’ll be giving my ‘new to me’ VHE 28 gauge Skeet gun a workout on its inaugural Tampico grouse and woodcock hunt... I hope. Rumor has it that bird numbers there seem to be holding their own... we’ll see.

Let’s see if Grace remembers anything... it might take a little refreshing her memory on my part.

Full report on a daily basis as it being at such an elevation that I get great cell service at camp.

Congratulations Dean and Kathy on 49 years.
Wishing you success with Grace and the Skeet 28. Really looking forward to your pictures and daily reports. See you in a week.

good luck on the hunt

and more importantly - congratulations on 49 years with a special Lady
(and high honors to her for putting up with you for that long)

I guess a grand toast will be in order at next years Vintagers for the 50th
