A few yrs ago I gave a friend a Mod 92 Winchester in 25-20. It was manufactured in 1904.

Well, Henry died last week and his oldest 2 boys showed up today with that rifle.

Said the kids had talked it over and they thought I should have it.

Coulda knocked me over with a feather!

It will be truly treasured.

Just thot I'd tell y'll about it. He was a good man & a good friend.

Dang, I hate it when a mud puppy is so damn right. They sound like young men with their head on straight there Berto. Sorry for the loss of you friend. Although we loose friends in the real world they are like the changing of the seasons. The seasons change but we remember them for the better days, not the rainy ones. I am sure you will remember your friend on the sunniest days and the happiest moments. catfish
