Pure coincidence - I read it and thought the author tells a much better story than I could. The letter on my gun says it was shipped to William Read & Sons in Boston on Oct 2, 1903. Ruthie thinks it was spoils from a poker game her son played years ago during a "wild period" (I'd say lucky period). Since her son was a local semi-pro golfer, I assume the gun has some local heritage I'll never know.
