« on: February 16, 2009, 11:58:00 PM »

My Dad turned 88 this W/E, and Moms been gone since '02.
Those jackets they bought in Canada, maybe 1967 or 8,I saw them wearing them on camping trips for the next 20 yrs.

The knife Mom found stuck in a tree in Whitefish Montana in the 80's.

The bow is the 56 KS, I did with Dons refinish Thread.

Thanks Mom and Dad for great memories

Great,....the bow is a beautiful '55 and the knife is a very good model made by Western Cutlery in the '60's. That is a really cool display Kurt!

Outstanding pics and memorial!

Makes me think of my folks. Dad passed in '99 and I don't go see Mom enough. I think I'll go see her today, Thanks Kurt.

Great tribute.  Apparently they were both shared a love for the outdoors.

Thanks for sharing...
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!

Thanks guy's
I'm glad to spark a call, to your parents.
I was a lucky kid,even though I was a wild thing.

I asked Pop's, if he thought he'd ever be sitting across from his grand kids, at a nice restaurant,with me happily married 23 yrs,out of his 7 kids,
took him about 2 seconds, he laughed and answered "nope".
So anybody with a crazy youngster,
there is some hope.
               
Rich,
 You gave some great advice on photo's and composition, a while back and I tried to pay attention.

Great Kurt

Bet that's a bow and a knife you will never sell.  Can't put a value on it.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.
