I got my DGJ and have read Randy’s article; a very enjoyable read.

I like it when noteworthy gun and biography come together. The photos were super, too.

As with “Mingo”, I once worked in an office with a colleague who had an arm that ended in a stump at the elbow. The man knew that I had gone to Nova Scotia Deer hunting and he volunteered to me that he had a family-owned 30-ought-six caliber rifle, and enjoyed shooting it.

Also, as with “Mingo”, no one in the office seemed to know the reason for the loss of limb. Nor, did anyone to my knowledge ever inquire. Reticence on the topic just seemed to accord with the man’s blithe and routine triumph over the anatomical deficit.
