Down memory lane - remembering your Dad
 

When it comes to hunting and dog handling I remember that whether my Dad was field trialing his best setter, Skyrocket's Ruff Grouse, or bird hunting, that he never went outdoors without wearing a tie, his hat and A&F hunting coat. Just classic. Here he is with Ruff and a few of his Setter Club of New England friends back in the day (early 1950's) . Mike Seminatore and Eddie Frizella may be in this pic. I think this was taken at the old Foss Farm.

What do you gents remember?

Great stuff Allen, love those classic red/green plaid 40's + 50's pics! Was Eddie, Richie Frisella's dad (former owner of Peacedale, RI )?

I know most of you have seen this before, but this is the only hunting picture I have of my Father and Grandfather with neckties.

Yes he was. I remember my mom taking my brother and i to the Foss Farm for the field trials there. The ladies would prepare picnic meals. It was a great time for my brother and I. Funny that as i get older these fond memories come flooding back. I find myself more meloncolie these days. In the early to mid 50's there was a tv program called "I Remember Mama". Well, I remember Dad. Unfortunately, we lost him at age 54 to ALS. Horrible disease.
Im rambling too much so i will get off now

These are great memories!!
Come on gents. Dig into your family albums post the pics and tell us what you remember..

Oldie but goodie
 

My grandfather, great uncle, dad, and uncle after a Western Oklahoma quail hunt along the Canadian River.

I don't have one hunting pic of my dad; sure wish I did :envy:.

Just don't seem to have many hunting photos of Dad. He was always taking them of my Brother and I. But here is one of Dad from surf fishing camp on Padre Island National Seashore in about 1974. I was obsessed with shark fishing, and Dad would set me up several hundred yards down current from his camp because he didn't like the bloody shark baits near his long rods!! that old Jeep wagon made many a hunting and fishing trip in my youth! Wish I still had it.

Glad his hand is shown with palm out. If it was reversed, it means something entirely different. Just ask Winston Churchill
