The Thread of Firsts

[pixelfixed]

I remember shooting my first duck,was a canvasback,duck blind was in back of Moffit air base where my dad was stationed.
Was 1956,I was 8 yrs old.

First buck/deer, shot left handed & I'm a righty. I remember the excitement, hearing my heart pounding thinking the deer might hear it. Cocking that 30-30 & hearing it "click" was really LOUD. The slow movement to bring the rifle to presentation, hearing everything like leaves falling, but I don't remember hearing the report of the rifle sounding...strange.

I also remember quite vividly being a fumbling nervous idiot with my first encounter with a lady...talk about a riot looking back.

I got it at Ted's Tattoo Shop, in Fairfield, IA, on my 20th birthday. I was on leave, before reporting to my first duty-station: Ft. Richardson, AK

This photo was taken years later, at my 10th high school reunion, in June 1979. It is the only photograph I have of it; sadly, in B&W.

Half-a-year later, the rose was covered up by an elbow-to-shoulder Japanese koi (which definitively answers Pixelfixed's question: "Does a fish have lips?").

Mrs. Moo (right): the first woman I loved more than life itself.



And Roxie: the first dog I ever knew who would mouth-deliver dry, unbitten envelopes and liked wearing fake animal noses.
