The poster who mentioned the depression not being over in 1958 was not far wrong, things were better. I lost my dad in 1955 and was home with my mother and sister, I was 17 . In fifty five I hunted with a 20 gauge Stevens 94 that I had bought myself, slugs for deer and #6's for small game. What ever I took in the field was apprecited on the table as Mom couldn't work sis was 5. In 57 I landed a much better job and started to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Then eventually came the model 12 and the 94. A lot of people are upset about our troubles today, and I like others have suffered some loss, we will get through it. I believe it will make a better people of us all. kotzy
