Default Jeff Christie and Iowa Birds

My friend Col. Jeff Christie of Lake Okoboji sent me these while he is visiting the Mayo Clinic for something unpleasant. Jeff on the season opener with a new dog and his grandfathers DHE. A nice, no excuses, unabused gun.


We have a good group of friends meeting in SoDak soon for the opener at the farm and we hope the bird season does well this year as expected. Jeff will join us again next year.

Thanks Bruce.

Fellow PGCA guys- The unpleasantness is prostate cancer. Ugly at best. I cannot encourage you enough to get PSA tests annually if not more often. The finger wave is no fun but sure as hell beats surgery. See your doctor soon.

Jeff,
I enjoyed the pictures of your Britt's and am happy the young one is working out for you. It was your recommendation that got me hooked up with Steve DelRossi and I couldn't be happier. Tonight Shea (6 months old) got her first Pheasant and it's the start of many great seasons to come. I wish you the best with your treatments and hope you and your pup also have many great seasons to come.

The treatment now is a 36 session (25 to go) radiation regime. The surgery (laparoscopic) was a piece of cake. Out of hospital in 30 hours.

Larry- I called Steve on Monday and he was confident they would be fine just wet. I tried today and I got a telephone company recording. I imagine it will be some time before I can get thru.

Angel- one of the projects I have up here at Mayo is reattaching the leather flap on the LOM case I got from you. I have PLENTY of time between radiation zaps.

Good for you Jeff, that will keep you busy for a bit. If you need something to read I have a few issues of Shooting Sportsman you can have.

Thank you however I have the same problem - issues going back into the 80's or so. When I really get bored I think I'll start reading TPS (just kidding guys- don't get mad).

Larry - my picture pose (dog and gun) is not as nice as yours- I was rushed and running out of shooting time. Please give me a call sometime.
