He had it refreshed in the fifties sometime. It is a little care worn today. It is kind of stiff when I cock it. Bores are perfect and it is an old school 20 gauge shotgun, which is neat. My dad was a champion debater in college. He became an Army pilot in the War and flew in Pan American until he retired. He knew a million limericks. He ended up being a captain on the Seven fourty seven. He sang barbarshop. In short, he was a star, and so was my mother. She said that she never tried out for a part in a play when she didn't get the lead. They have been gone for a long time, but their memory survives.

Love thy father and thy mother.
