In honour of Grandpa

[Stan Hoover]

A few pictures of the 101 with original box and receipt. I never saw grandpa shoot this 101 although he told me a few stories of duck hunting with it. When steel shot was the new rule, he then purchased a Mossburg 500 3 1/2”. It was not a pleasant gun to look at, but his guns were more or less tools, not for beauty.
Also a picture of my grandparents I believe shortly after their wedding in 51, a small photo of deer camp in Lycoming County Pa (40’s I believe) and then also grandpa with a young fox that unfortunately met his end while groundhogs were being hunted. Groundhogs were another favorite, many warm summer days/evenings were spent in pursuit of whistle pigs.
