Sorry to hear that. Met him once. Another of the great old timers gone. Anybody know how old he was?


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

I believe Oscar took the time to enjoy the little things that bring enjoyment and pleasure to running a trap line ... Stopping to smell the roses so to speak. He had a Field Day in the Early '70s where I meet Him and Walter Arnold ...Never Forget that Day.
