Today is my Father-in-Laws Birthday. He is the man who most recently introduced me to this forum. But Before that he was the man who took my own late fathers' 1917 Enfield rifle and put a new stock and Leupold scope on it for a Christmas gift. After that he paid off the balance of a Marlin 12 gauge. He bought me an RCBS starter kit and got me into reloading, he took me Sporting Clay shooting and got me into shotshell reloading. As you can see, the list of things he has gotten me involved with goes on for quite a while. I've been hunting with him now for over 21 years, some good seasons, some not so good, but I consider myself lucky and privleged to have a man like this to be my hunting buddy, my mentor, my friend, and my Dad. Chances are he will be on later, so everybody wish Luke a Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Luke! Looks like your daughter had very good taste in picking you a winner for a son in law.

Happy birthday Luke.
It's good to see a father-in-law and a son-in-law become good friends. A rare commodity in this age.

Thanks to all for the kind words and well wishes. My wife of 42 years and I are of the same opinion; and that is,we won the lottery when we got Doughboy for a son-in-law.
