A few years ago Mike Conrad, I believe it was, gave this to me. It's a copy of the cover of a March1950 Ohio Trapper with an article that dad had published in that edition on page 3. At that time, I would have been 11 months old and dad would have been 24 years old. I'm thinking this was the first thing he ever had in print. Just a bit of history....

Great Find
I would have been less than a month old
Some one would have probably had to read it to me.

Your father was a great storyteller and man. I'm sure glad that I got to meet him and that you posted this story. Thanks.

Very nice.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

You need to start a museum.
