Default New Home Page Picture

Mr. Dunkle Sir - it's great to see that picture of your great grandmother. Please tell us what you can about her.
Was she the wife of your great grandfather, the famous trapshooter?

I really like the new picture! I am such a stickler for vintage hunting and vintage grouse hunting. Hit me right in the heart! Love it!

Hi Dean and all,

My thanks - and yes, that is, indeed, my Great-Grandmother - Anne Dana Osborn, wife of George Leland Osborn, who was a registered trap shooter.

Anyway - she's probably horrified to be posted on the opening page of a website - and I'm certain she'll have a few things to say when we meet "over the horizon" someday...
