Rebooted the computer and all is well. A friend just picked up a new setter that apparently came from Hank's kennel.

It is a great story, and thanks for posting the link.
I do have a question. I've read this story many times over the years and there are slight variations in different books. For example this is the first time I have seen hunting buddies mentioned, he is home in bed and not in a hospital, his wife is at his side (not his sister), ect..
Who makes these changes ?
Thanks, Dave

Thank You Dean It was a joy to watch and listen. It is the best hunting story, with out a doubt, that I like to reread every few months just to remind me why I love the outdoors so much. Thomas

"Editorial license" I suppose. It is my guess that Laurie Morrow, having full control over the Ford archives, must be allowed the latitude to do what she deems as necessary or fitting in the way she makes use of Corey Ford's stories and writings.

Thank you ,thank you Dean !!!

Corey Ford's Best!!
 

I believe the shotgun Frank is carrying a is a 12 Trojan, possibly with a rubber recoil pad. Only I man who lived to fly fish and hunt grouse as a gentleman should hunt them like the late Corey Ford did could create such a masterpiece. I have this story in my book "The Best of Corey Ford", which also contains his equally great "Letter To A grandson"-- I did not notice any mention of what make and gauge shotgun Frank had in the original story, nor any mention about 4 hunting partners. My impression of Frank was that he was a bachelor, like Uncle Perk Perkins in the "Lower Forty" series, who lived with his possibly unmarried sister, and his Setter was his whole life- that and grouse come October--

The Parker in the video is a 12 gauge GH and it belongs to Legh Higgins who also owns the setter, "Coronation's Duke of Earl" and the Filson jacket that "Frank" is wearing.

Dean, can't wait to see your pup:):):)

Steve, I'm sure Dean wouldn't mind me sharing this with you all. It just priceless.

Great Pic Dave, thanks:):):) Oh boy, that pup won't be spoiled!!!!!
