Default Pass the Grouse

I've been thinking of Roger Giles lately. I sure miss him and his comments. At the end of each post were three simple letters, "PTG", Pass the Grouse. Of course that is Famous Grouse a good scotch. And that reminds me of Morris Baker of RST Shells. It seems every time I passed his booth he would fill my cup with 12 year old Grouse. Both great gentlemen.

Roger was a great guy - what a character!

Morris IS a great guy and a wonderful and generous friend!

Morris was at the recent Rock Mountain shoot. Very generous with his time and his wonderful guns as always.

Morris contributes a flat of each gauge shell he manufactures to our annual silent auction. A great friend of the PGCA.

I showed up at the 2005 Spring Southern with Uncle Taylors 1881 Lifter just for show and tell. Morris gave me more than enough short 10 gauge shells to shoot and enough Grouse to miss. Damn if I didn't win.

This is the a picture of Morris and myself the first time I had met him. I ordered a box of shells to be picked up at Rock mountain a couple of years ago and he delivered them! He looked over my 16 ga. VH checked the tubes. Great guy.
