What a fine way to spend the day! I skipped class in high school once to go squirrel hunting with my Pop and to pick up seedlings from the Virginia State Nursery. He wrote me an excuse for the absence, telling the truth about the day. I got an unexcused absence and it ruined my perfect attendance. It was one of the best days of my life, and (obviously) I'm still talking about it.
A special day is irreplaceable, and you sometimes discover its value long after the fact.

Garry, were there any quail involved in the picking of those seedlings?

Beautiful. I bet he learned a lot more out there than he would have in class.

Very nice Master Harry ! When I did Rasawek Tuesday a week ago I carried my McKinney VH 16 26” IC/M gun and although I didn’t shoot a great amount there were more hits than misses !

Mr. John Frierson is a very nice gentleman. I've met him several times both in person and through articles and stories he has submitted over the years for publication in Parker Pages.
