Happy Birthday, sir! I'm sure all the neighbors refer to Ron as "that young, good-looking fellow down the road who hunts with a bow and arrow." I hope we continue to read your enjoyable and informative posts for many years to come.

Happy Birthday buddy!!!!!  
We've had a lot of great hunts and just plain fun over the years. The fact that the girls call you 'Uncle Ron' and we're not related speaks volumes to what you mean to my family.  Cheers buddy!     :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    

Our first hunt at Shrewhaven early nineties:

A few days ago Roger and I were having lunch at a nice sit down restaurant. Roger told the waitress I was having a birthday and he told her how old I was. She gave me a sympathetic look and I thought she was going to ask me if I'd rather have the ground beef instead of the brisket.  I scolded Roger for telling my age     :bigsmyl:

I was trying to remember what I decided to call you when I started a thread about white beards...King of the Whitebeards is a befitting moniker for someone who is still stickbow hunting at 80...I have a feeling you have quite a few good years left...so Happy 80th to the King of the Whitebeards

I posted earlier but had some afterthoughts. Back in about 1953 I became interested in archery, but except for Sports Afield and Field and Stream, I couldn't find much local info about archery there in my little town in Kentucky. When I received a Malibu Archery catalog, I was totally under the influence. It was a magical time for a 10 year old even when there was no one else to shoot with during those first 2 years. Wouldn't it have been great to have known someone like Ron during those formative years? Thanks Ron!   :archer2:
