Actually Dave, the pictures don't quite "say it all".
You found a book at grouse camp with a story by Col. H. P. Sheldon entitled "The Last Day" and in it was a short paragraph that pretty much "says it all". It was about his own son, I'm sure, who was about the same age as Danny is now and it was at the beginning of WWII when all parents thoughts were of the immediate future.This was Danny's first grouse hunt and I kinda get the feeling it won't be his last. He exemplifies what we remember of ourselves in our first years hunting and what we hope for in the youth of today and our traditions being carried on to future generations.
Dave, will you please tell us all what that Sheldon paragraph says?
