Rest in Peace to my brother-in-law, Robert D. Hepburn. Taught me about hunting from the age of twelve in such far away sounding places as Kelly's Cellar, Home Camp and High Ridge. great places for a 12 year old to get lost. I will surely miss him as I have stopped to visit him most every trip home in the last 66 years.
