				 I swear...... 
 
			
			Sometimes you wonder what can be next. 
 Lost my dear friend Roger Giles a few months back.
 
 My Grandfather passed away just over a month ago.
 
 A real close friend, Jeff Milliken, is very ill right now with an undiagnosed disease.
 
 Russ Bickel, another very close friend and the best gunsmith I know, is currently in an induced coma suffering complications from a triple bypass.
 
 And now I get word that one of my oldest duck hunting friends from Southern Illinois, Tom Horn, is suffering with cancer.
 
 All are hunting / shooting friends which seems to make it even worse for some reason. I swear boys, this fall / winter is the worst I ever spent.
