Even with the loss of Ed and Ben, I think the correct decision was made. Thomas is correct about any date picked will most likely exclude someone that we would like to be there. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Paul,
Please keep me in the loop on this. I will be in Albuquerque for the Centennial Celebration of the New Mexico Wildlife Federation, but may be able to escape late Saturday afternoon and join you guys that evening.
Thanks!

Ben, always we will want and keep you in this loop. It's really nice that you are part of that centennial celebration - but maybe by Sat afternoon you will ready to change to a different set of "old farts" - so hurry on down here if you can.
Should we name an honorary marksman to take your place in the early shoots on Saturday and, if so, whose rifle should he/she use?

I could make other dates but I think it best that we leave it as set at this point

Random draw for both--that's how it always works for me.

I will be embarrassed if Ben were to win, and not even be there. miles

Well, I think that he's won - or at least come really close in the past - and we were not sure he was all there.

Ok! Paul!!!
Been talking to young son here as we BBQ some pig. He's interested in coming out. If he comes I can swing the trip. Just hard for me to do it by myself. So put us down tentatively for now. 95% sure we will be there!!
Woohoo!!!

I am doing my best to make it and hope you can come too. You are one of a long list I would like to share a campfire with.

Bob - this is good and hope it works out as planned. If you get to this August campfire, I predict quite a bit of mutual enjoyment.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

You guys had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Man, I'm really going to miss this. Ed

I'm catching up on this kind of late, but I guess not so late that I missed the gathering. Being just up the road a bit I'm working on my schedule and hope to make this. Can someone fill in this noob on the ins and outs of the gathering? I gather its a great time, involves shooting and swapping lies, I mean stories. What else? Thanks! Razz
There's 2 dates they carve on your tombstone. Everyone knows what they mean. What's more important is time that is known as the little dash inbetween.

"Good enough" isn't.
