Default Cop of the letter

Roger- I would very much like to see this letter, if you would be so kind as to post a copy here, or perhaps submit it for a later issue of Parker Pages. The late Captain Paul A. Curtis, also Van Campen Heilner, were two of my favorite gunning/hunting authors from the 1930's, and I treasure the copies of their books I own. I recently heard a rumor that Captain Curtis died by his own hand in 1945-46, which saddens me greatly. He set the standard for manners afield with his words "The Field Is The Touchstone Of The Man"!!

Regretfully, the annual shoot at the Eisenhower farm has been cancelled indefinitely due to concerns about lead contamination. It was last held probably in 2006. Ike's 20 gauge Model 21 is safe at the National Firearms Museum in Virginia.

Probably the best compilation of sporting dog stories I have ever read.

Gentlemen; The Curtis I am refering to in a prior post is of Field and Stream magazine. I believe Paul Curtis is another outdoor writer/author person.

Sorry for the confusion; Roger

Greg,

If she had a sister I'd do my best to make it a menage a trois. *wink*
