I was just wondering how old Pop Headrick was getting to be? I know Michael McIntosh writes about the Headrick gang a lot. I love the Holland & Holland hammer gun Bill has anyone know anything about it?

Dave Noreen is well acquainted with the Headricks. He is in Alaska and will be back before next winter to answer our questions.

Actually, I guess Pop died in 2007; time flies. According to a letter I got from Bill, Pop was 92. The new (?) book "Gameland Classics" has some nice words about Pop, some of his guns, and his shooting abilities. Quite a character, he.

Pop Headrtick died much more recently then 1997!! I have a turned wormy cherry covered dish he made in 1999. I took this picture when I was at Pop's house in January 2003 --

Researcher who is the other gentleman in the pic and was this pic took in 2003? That sure is a nice looking single trap gun I'm sure it is a Fox. Researcher did you ever handle the Holland & Holland hammer gun. Also on Pop in the back of one of the DGJ there is a pic of him with a VH Parker.

Oops; I meant 2007! I guess senior moments can mean you don't even know what decade it is

I was use to seeing Pop when he was a much bigger man. I didn't know him. How old is Bill getting to be now? Thanks for the pic of Pop and Bill I'm going to run off a coppy of the pic. Any one else have a Pic of Pop or Bill with MM?
