Great stuff. Got me looking through the box of old family photos I have. There are pictures of my Mother throughout her life, but other than one picture of my Father when he 3, I have nothing of him in the teens and twenties. Pictures of him begin in the early 1930s when he started dating my Mother. Here they are on an October duck hunt at Rice Lake, Minnesota, in early October 1934, a year before they married and headed west.

My Mother appears to be holding her Sear's RANGER (J. Stevens Springfield No. 315). After they got to Seattle it was custom stocked for her with a quality trigger guard by my Great Uncle Art Gustafson, a North Seattle gunsmith. I started my pheasant hunting with it in 1959 --
