Long time friends seems a better appellation than old friends though either would be accurate. Frank is 20 days older than I, and many would think we are old. Whatever...we’ve been friends and hunting companions since 1976. Frank gave me my first dog, a springer spaniel, and now I’ve had seven. He’s a retired orthopedic surgeon who has the distinction of inventing a replacement ankle, the Agility Ankle, the only one approved by the FDA.
Every year since 1976 we’ve hunted together as we did today. Joining us was his grandson, Owen, who is a second year medical student. Owen’s father is an orthopedic surgeon and his mother a psychiatrist so medicine is a logical career choice.
It was shirtsleeve weather as we walked beautiful grasslands. While we saw some birds we didn’t bag any but it was very successful hunt. Tomorrow? Hunting again...😉
Takk for alt,
Al
In this earlier picture Frank is hatless.
