William Foster Painting

[J. Scott Hanes]

WHF's grandson, Jon, was the first person I met in the Remington offices in 1979. He was then and still is a good friend. Very much the gentleman. Jon had 'ownership' of the "Little Gun" for some time and brought it to one of the "Old Pat's Society" hunts in Maine. It was like a religious experience getting to handle and shoulder that one!!

Also in the Remington, NC offices was a dog painting by WHF that I passed almost every day. Every bit as alive as the painting photo above. A wonderful artist.
