Sorry to hear about your back condition. At 75, I have been blessed with steady good health and 20-20 Chuck Yeager vision. The German word for "taking joy at another's misfortune" is Schaudenfraud (sic) but I do not do that, in-spite of all the "sturm und drang" wehave shared, here and a few years ago, on the PGCA. I am sorry for your ailment, but you are wise in not pushing things. Best to "know your limitations" as Clint Eastwood once so wisely said.

I'll be hunting in nearby Indiana this coming Sept., as MI does not have a dove season. Going with my friend, a retired Judge who owns 3 A.H. Fox doubles- he'll take his AE 16. I'm taking my only Fox shotguns, a 1934 20 gauge Sterlingworth DT and with ejectors- and RST shells.

Good luck on the "coo-coo mourners" in MD-when in season of course. Fox with the runs--or, Fox on the run, perhaps??
