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.
Engstrom's Landing, Rice Lake, MN, Oct. 2, 1934.jpeg 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 -- Pheasant Huntin 1959.jpg |

Is that a ‘59 Chevy?

1959 Bel-Air four door, straight six, three on the tree, dog dish hub caps. Took my drivers test in that car. Can't believe I perfectly parallel parked that barge!!

On Monday I saw a '59 Impala that had been restored, or was a "closet queen" of the eleventh order, I don't know which. It was on the showroom floor of a local Chevy dealership. It was absolutely immaculate. I saw the owner of the dealership at a restaurant last evening and he came over to talk. I asked him about the Impala. He had bought it awhile back for somewhere in the $36K range and sold it just this week for a cool $89K. I've been into classic cars most of my life, but I've never seen a better example. It's hard to imagine a car so perfect.

Wayne, why would your dad have put paper in the nostrils of the two mule deer? I can think of only two reasons, and they are a stretch. Either to prevent blood seepage, which I doubt, or to prevent flies from laying eggs in the nostrils.
Forgive, me, I'm just a curious sort..... That is just a great picture. |
