The torch is passed

[C.O.B.]

My father was neither a hunter or gun owner. My grandfather was a trapshooter and a birdhunter and his trap gun was indeed a Parker. He died however befor I was born so it must have been in my blood to become a shooter and hunter.

My parents did the best they could to get me connected to their friends who were shooters/hunters. I remember my first trip to the skeet range with a friend of my fathers. I shot his M12 28ga.

My hats off to Mr. Wid McCready who taught me to shoot and to Mr. Vic Calderone who took me deer hunting many times, and Mr. Denny Brown who let me wander is woods and fields for deer and squirrels. They have all passed on to better hunting grounds but I'm forever gratefull to them.


John perhaps we will meet again this summer in Lewiston for a round of clays.
