Oh, those quincy quarries. The stories they could tell.
Russ, your story of you and your dad warmed my heart. In the last year of his life after fighting ALS for 8 yrs (a medical record at the time), my dad asked me if he could tag along with me for pheasants. He had great difficulty walking and fell down several times. I had to pick him up cause he had no arm strength. Still he carried on. His brittany, gunner, located a cock and up went the bird right in front of us. I shot it and turned to him and said, we are done Dad, im tired. On the way home he said that was the best hunt of his life. Rest in peace Dad. |

I was referring to the Rockport quarries.... I know there were a lot more cars and bodies pulled from the Quincy quarries. .

This pic is off topic - no shotguns or dogs to be seen - but all these memories got me kinda teary-eyed and I couldn't resist. This is my dad on his honeymoon with his brand new Ford roadster and ever-present cigarette. The pipe is his, and the watch is his father's. Don't know why, but my family just wasn't snap-shot oriented; this is one of the few pics I have of my dad...
