We've been traveling and just picked up our mail that included the latest edition. (Thanks, Mark and Gary, for your positive response (and, Gary, I hope all is still good with you and your pup)).
I enjoyed the range of articles -- writing like that of Mills and John that teaches me something, to heartfelt personal accounts of place (Mr. Bishop's piece for example)...and who doesn't like reading about a young shooter's first bird with a Parker. Thanks to all who took time to share their writing with us and to Mike and Sammy for making it happen.
