to: Gordon A, Langston from:truedog Re,re: hunting Gordon...you are a man after my own heart. I shot the buck, in a medium lope,with a 308 and broke his back. He fell on his back in a shallow ditch.As I approached, his big brown eyes were asking me,Why? What did I ever do to you? I could swear that I heard him. I wiped the tears from my eyes and finished the job. It was the only humane thing left for me to do. I have not fired a shot from that,or any other, rifle since that moment. Yes, my family and I ate every edible bite of the meat prepared in different ways depending on the cut. On the personal side, I am wondering if your father or grandfather ever owned the Ford dealership in Brenham. If so, I knew your family well. I even had a couple of dates with big Gordon's daughter, Sylvia. Just wondering. Your privacy is your own. Regards, truedog
