Re: Inherited Fox
It belonged to my Uncle Donald, my grandfathers brother. Donald was a very successful general contractor in the Seattle area. He never saw the need to learn to swim. At 6’7” he thought he could get out of the water. He was found under a log in the DeChutes River in Oregon after he fell from his boat.

Inherited Fox
My great-great uncle brought this in the 1920’s. It was my father’s favorite field gun. I believe it was made in 1916.

The air-force provided a missing man fly over at his funeral. With bagpipers it was very moving.
