I spent a few wonderful afternoons visiting with Michael in that room. I would have to agree that was one of his favorite rifles.

I was sorting through some of my picture files and came across this one. When I saw this rifle (not the one you referred to) I asked Michael if it was ever in the Monty Kennedy book, "Checkering and Carving of Gunstocks." He said it was and said I had a good eye. He snapped a picture of me with it and emailed it to me. It has become one of my favorite pictures. I cherish the all to brief time I knew Michael.
