I hope that '97 is still in service !

It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

Probably got well used to get meat thru the war years ,look at that gallon jug of shine🔥
Nice
Too bad their grand kids have grown up with purple hair, tattoos all over and ear rings in places no one even talked about in those days. The would consider hunting something a psycho would do and thanksgiving, a day of oppression for the the Native Americans.
Times change.
I hope those boys survived the war.
Not all of them. Judy and I just got back home after opening and closing the club for the local high school skeet team practice. There were 15 at practice today and not a tattoo or strand of purple hair in sight. Yesterday it was almost 80 and sunshine for most of the day. For practice today it was 45 and rain showers. One of the parents accused me of scheduling inclement weather every monday . I told her if the kids learn to shoot in nasty weather then competing on a nice day will be a breeze. Bob
The guy in the rear looks like a young Ronald Reagan, has the same head tilt too 😊
