October 17th is a VERY special day! Yes, the American patriots won the battle of Saratoga on October 17th, 1777 and that is very important. But infinitely more important, on October 17th 1981 my Darling Sweetheart became my Darling Bride! And what a blessing to me she has been for the last 36 years! Four years after we were married she (along with our 3 year old daughter) went with me to Montana and Wyoming so that I could pack horses and mules and guide elk hunters. She went with me to rendezvous and dove right in to a life of camping, hiking and distance running. While not a hunter herself, she always supports me in my hunting addiction and cooks what I bring home.
She has given me two wonderful children, Bridget who has published three novels, is married and has given us two wonderful grandchildren, and Ben who is a Navy Gunner's Mate Veteran and now a civilian gunsmith.
What a woman!
Linda, thanks for putting up with this old mountain man! I love you with all my heart and soul and I'm looking forward to the next 36 years!
