[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4291714, member: 13337"] I worked for this man for 5 1/2 years when I was a student worker/graduate assistant at Ok State University... After that, when when the college hired me as a full time employee,,, I was Robin to his Batman at the College of Education. All told we worked together and had a great time doing so,,, That working relationship lasted for well over a decade. I carried his 3-day old daughter around the building we worked at,,, Telling all the people that I bought her from the gypsies,,, She's now graduating from Tulsa State University. He saw me transition from an angry 46 year old man,,, To a successful employee at the College. After better than a decade he quit to become a principal at a Catholic school,,, Since he moved out of town I don't see him and his family very often,,, But when we do it's usually at his FIL's place for some "chooting". Last year I gave his daughter a "Lady Lilac" Ruger LC9,,, And a Twisted Industries .22 LR adapter kit,,, She took to the pistol very nicely I also gave his 11 year old son a nicely scoped Savage Mk-II F rifle,,, We shot about 150 rounds through it that last range trip,,, You should have seen his eyes when I said "It's yours." This trip he's getting a nice Rossi .22 LR SA/DA revolver,,, It has an 8-shot cylinder with a 4" barrel,,, It should get him started nicely. So today is cleaning and oiling the guns I'll be shooting,,, Preparing a ton of paper targets to punch holes in,,, And filling the cooler with water and snacks. I just hope the rain holds off,,, According to my phone's weather app,,, There's a fifty-fifty chance of some precipitation. But hey,,, If it rains us out,,, At least I'll get to see him and his family. I'm sort of their adopted crazy uncle. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
