Had a patient in a few days ago who was asking me if I knew where any good 16 gauge double guns were for sale. Said hes been going to gun shows for a couple years looking for one and just cant find anything but junk. So when he came back this morning, after he was done, I had my assistant bring in a soft gun case that had a nice looking 16 LeFever Special. His eyes went wide. Fumbled and shook a little holding it. Then asked how much I wanted for it. Now a Lefever Special is not a high dollar gun but does make a fine shooter. Told him it was a gift to him. Then asked him to leave it to one of his grandkids when he was done using it. Will do he says.
I dont get many hugs from men but he gave one to both my assistant and me. Hers was a much more enjoyable hug Im sure. Shes young and cuter. Funny thing was after he left she jokingly asked when she gets a double. Never had much more fun giving away a gun to a patient before. Might have to sit aside a double for her.

Jon, That was a wonderful act, and I'm sure he will treasure it. Passing something on means a lot to both involved. Karl

Whew. I was worried you were going bring up adult diapers, and being fed with a spoon. Seen it.

What a great gesture, and one that he will always remember. It is people like you that make us over-look some of the bad.

It's not just old men, KY Jon. It's what we can do any time. My father learned as a POW in Germany for three years that the measure of a man is in what he can contribute to others. Well done, sir.
