Mr. Saunders taught me how to shoot a shotgun for the first time, it hurt a lot but he did warn me about it. (Keep that gun tight against you before firing he said, boy it hurt, I guess it wasn't firm enough against my shoulder. I'll always remember that day and many other days those summers. Mr. Saunders is a great person and father and friend.
