Hey, Ryan,
Elaine and I really enjoyed meeting you and the rest of the folks at LCS. I'm so glad you followed up with your story of your Parker and your pup. As so many of us who are caretakers of "Old Reliable," we know the story behind the gun is what really matters and the gun is what condenses so many wonderful days into what is far from just an inanimate object.
I look forward to seeing your growing participation in our Association. Our best to you and your family (which, of course, includes dogs!).
Garry Gordon & Elaine De Jovin
PS The quotation from your post below expresses eloquently what so many of us who lead the sporting life feel -- thanks!
