[QUOTE="hubb, post: 1586021, member: 25751"] First I want to thank FigJam for this great thread it has been a very interesting one for sure, and I want to say I'm sorry to WindSurgeon for my poor attempt at humor for such a sad post on his very great family pieces. I was only trying to put a smile on a very sad story. After rereading my own first post I see I made a slip up typing about my age, I,m closer to 80 than 70. I am long past being able to hunt due to health but still shoot a little so I do need to seriously get things took care of. I see now after reading some post I need to do more than I have so that so there will be no problem. I have already gotten rid of quiet a bit except for a few things that belonged to my Dad and others. I just enjoy knowing I can look over and see them and instantly go back to a special time with them. I am sure many of you do the same thing. While following this I got to thinking how wonderful it would be if we were able to share a campfire or a weekend together with some of you that have posted here or maybe some where else. Just to be able to see the guns that are so dear to each of us and share the stories behind them with each other. Some of you have briefly shared some great stories about your family guns and it just makes me want to hear more and see the family pieces. I know this is impossible for me but maybe for some of you not, I encourage those of you that can get together to do it. One other thing, my heart bleeds for Oxobrianne272 I do feel the pain. I truly think we will have a serious battle to keep something like this or very close to it in this country. While I'm wishing I wish Oxobrianne272 could be along to share the stories with us.
