Hey Steve!!!!  CONGRATS!!!  Most deserving!!!

You put forth a tremendous of effort for the organization and it is greatly appreciated!!
ACCEPT YOUR WOBBLE!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again."  Ronald Reagan

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785

Congrats! I remember when you were so helpful to me. I'm from Michigan and was working a shoot in FL. You brought a chair for me to use and made room in your cooler for my lunches. So helpful and much appreciated.

I remember that shoot.   I remember chuckling when you were talking about dry fire and told the shooters "You need to go down in the basement with no ammo" and everybody there was thinking what is a basement?   We call those swimming pools in Fl. :)

Good hearing from you.  Would love to see you down in Fl again.

Woohoo! I've only worked one shoot with Steve, but man was it a doozy. Patriot's day, on a range we don't use very regularly, punctuated by pouring rain during the memorial volley. Good times!
