    What a difference 21 years can make...

    I've been posting new photos to one of my blogs today...This one concerns the construction of Shooter's Station...The guy pictured here is nearly unrecognizable today, but back then he was almost presentable as a human being...At least the two little guys with him turned out OK...Nephew #1 in the middle owns his own remodeling business, and makes his home with his wife and two kids...Nephew #2 on the left holds down a full time job and takes a full load of college classes in his spare time...He also builds custom furniture for fun and profit...

    Their uncle manages to hold body and soul together with his gun dealer's retirement plan......Ben

    The future is forged on the anvil of history...The interpreter of history wields the hammer... - Unknown author...
