My Dad turned 88 this W/E, and Moms been gone since '02.
Those jackets they bought in Canada, maybe 1967 or 8,I saw them wearing them on camping trips for the next 20 yrs.

The knife Mom found stuck in a tree in Whitefish Montana in the 80's.

The bow is the 56 KS, I did with Dons refinish Thread.

Thanks Mom and Dad for great memories

Great,....the bow is a beautiful '55 and the knife is a very good model made by Western Cutlery in the '60's. That is a really cool display Kurt!

Great tribute.  Apparently they were both shared a love for the outdoors.

Thanks guy's
I'm glad to spark a call, to your parents.
I was a lucky kid,even though I was a wild thing.

I asked Pop's, if he thought he'd ever be sitting across from his grand kids, at a nice restaurant,with me happily married 23 yrs,out of his 7 kids,
took him about 2 seconds, he laughed and answered "nope".
So anybody with a crazy youngster,
there is some hope.
               
Rich,
 You gave some great advice on photo's and composition, a while back and I tried to pay attention.

Great Kurt

Bet that's a bow and a knife you will never sell.  Can't put a value on it.

Another reminder for those of us with youngins to spend time with them and create cherished memories. Some of us weren't lucky enough to have much from our early days. All the more reason to make sure we leave good ones behind.

LOL Jack,
Funny thing is, the only thing in that picture,I will trade or sell is the bow, its a fixer upper from the flake bay.
The rest you are correct on.
