The Pony Express finally dropped mine off in North Missouri. What a professionally designed issue. Great work, Mike and Sammy!

Thanks, Craig, for your kind comments. I enjoyed all of the articles -- a wide range, from John's always informative historical references (by the way, John, if you read this, I finally found a copy of your Kimble book...maybe I could get you to sign it sometime?), to Joe's account of our PGCA efforts at Pheasant Fest, to Mill's two articles about a special gun, used across generations. It was good to see how our raffle gun was delivered, too. I hope to catch up with the good Mr. Yearout on a Kansas bird hunt sometime soon, and I'll be sure to bring my Fox Sterlingworth or Trojan...and will pray for no rain(!).

I especially liked "meeting" Mary through Art's great tribute. I see Mary's reports every week and have enjoyed corresponding with her, but it was nice to learn more about her. Thanks, Art!

I still submit that we have the best publication of its kind.
