I was at Bi-Mart buying birdseed and buckshot (getting strange looks) when a gentleman in line behind me asks, "Do you need some dinner?" I turn around and there's the voice of my childhood, the late great Dave Niehaus.

"No, no I need to fill the birdfeeder, and I am going duck hunting tomorrow....really."

We both had a great laugh and talked out to his car. What a true gentleman, he signed the butt of my shotgun and wished me happy hunting. We all miss you Dave.
