This country and the men and women who made it what it is. The many dogs that gave me their joy, affection, and comfort during good times and bad. The paperback Crest Books The Old Man and the Boy by Robert Ruark I bought at a Katz drugstore in KC at age 13. That book (which I still have), God's grace, and the Boy Scouts, changed the direction of my life forever.
Robert Ruark was an important writer in my younger life, too. I have read all his books and followed his column "The Old Man and the Boy", every month in the hook & bullet magazine. Was it Field & Stream?
Again, good wishes to all. We have very much to be thankful for.
