Wallace was a client who became a friend and I eventually stored a car in his barn for several winters. We often had a cup of coffee and talked hunting and he enjoyed showing me his trophy room.

So many good memories while growing up and hanging out at the Duffin ranch. Wally even "properly" taught me how to shoot a pistol before the Army in the backyard range. My condolences to Doug, Duncan, and Tessa
