Howdy again gents,
I kinda hate to bring up such an old thread again, but felt it was better to do that than to start a new one with just an added photo, thus keeping the info more together. I received the Hutton stocked Winchester Model 70 short action rifle this thread is about from my dad in March of 2017.
My dad, who was a WWII and Korean War vet, passed away at about 11:00 AM on 11-11-2018 (interesting that it was exactly 100 years after, almost to the minute, the signing the peace treaty ending WWI on what used to be known as Armistice Day). On my last trip to CO to see him while he was in hospice care in early Nov., my brother gave me some of the last things dad had kept for himself when first going into an assisted living facility. In that box was a photo which included the Huttons, my family and other Hutton friends, taken in the Hutton's back yard maybe during the summer of 1963, as I looked to be around 14 years old. This is also the only photo I have found so far that my family had showing the Huttons.

The folks in this photo are, from L to R: John L. Hutton, possibly a niece of the Hutton's (whose name is unknown to me), Catherine Hutton (pet name - Totie), myself, my brother Norbert, my father Dave, my mother Lottie, a machinist Cap Shepard (who worked for John at the NBS machine shop) and friends Johnnie & Marie Jenkins. All those known in this photo are now deceased except for my brother and me.
The following photo has been cropped from the original:

Incidentally, I use MS Edge for my browser, and I have tried everything that I could read here on how to post photos in this thread, and none of the instructions work for me. All I can get is for a link to appear. The instructions in the FAQ section don't work and neither do those posted by D. Weber in the DoubleGun FAQ forum section.Any help would be appreciated for next time. Thanks!

PS: Another forum member indicated that he could not see the photos after clicking on the links. I tried it myself and could not see them the first time either, but upon closing the window and clicking the same links again, the photos showed up immediately. Not sure what gives!!!
