Greg,

Not to be doomsday crier, or anything like one, but after looking at the last couple of photos of Will in that little float boat I do have to tell you of a drowning that took place here about a month ago.

Goose season opened here in SD on Aug 3rd.

On a pothole lake about 3 miles from the house a young chap tipped his little dingy and filled his waders with water. He drowned before his companion or a motorist who swam out to him could help him.

Please! Have Will slip those waters off before picking up the dekes.

Best to you friend. I will try to rendezvous with you along the Interstate for lunch on the 20th when I head back up to Montana. Maybe we could meet in Bismarck and get John to join us. And tell Rick that the SD house is a lot closer to him than my kennels in Sidney. He stopped off for lunch one day last fall when he was in MT. Going by here on his way to your place is not hardly out of his way at all.

Bob
