The friend was the one that got me started tying flies back in 1944 or 45. We

Yep but we a lot fun!!! I can remember saving every little feather. Shooting
rabbits starlings and other assorted critters. What a great gift when someone
would give me their deer hide or my folks told me I could spend $20 & order
from Herter's!!
