An Ideal Memory...

[Bruce Hering]

Mine passed a number of years ago. Miss him daily even at 75. He taught me a great deal about bird dogs and hunting. He was a WWII Army vet. Dont really know what he did because he never talked about it with me. He would talk with the other guys at the Legion and they always were quiet bout what they said. Ran his bird dogs till the day he passed. He was happy. Enough said

My Dad, also an Army WWll vet, passed 4 years ago at 97. He was responsible for my passion for bird hunting, dogs and Parkers. He also talked very little about the war other than the fact that he watched the USS Indianapolis leave Tinian on it's fateful return trip. His Trojan 12 would sit in a rack in his bedroom and at the tender age of ten or twelve I would lust over it. I now have it. The most memorable birthday present he ever gave me was a day at the Baltimore Antique Arms show for my birthday. We'll never again see the likes of the Greatest Generation.
