Dan, the other day at your funeral, I kept thinking of the good times together. The photo of your gorgeous brittany spaniel Brenty. Such a good dog so many good time together hunting. Brenty running a corn row . Brenty was a wonderful dog in the field or the house. The time, when we were hunting in Colebrook, two birds flushed, we each shot and one bird fell, one was a hen. It's a good thing that I knew the farmer very well. Hunting lunches at the Carsonville Hotel after hunting in upper Dauphin County.
Speaking of the Carsonville Hotel how about the Valentines Day dinner with my old 4WD safely getting us up and back. Hunting Grouse in the coal strippings and woods around Minersville.
Remember our tour of historic Philadelphia and dinner at City Tavern.
Thanks for the Great memories'
All I could say as I passed the coffin was Good Bye old FRIEND.
