retirement surprise: 'bear rifle"
recently posted about finally retiring, which i did on december 15. we have been at our place in bozeman MT since then until a few days ago. my new job down there is being grandpa
its about the best job i have ever had !
friday night we were scheduled to have dinner with the top two folks from our clinic. i honestly had no idea that the whole crew was coming to give me a retirement party ! [ i might have run away if i had known ].
we had a great time and then they presented me with a gift.... a lever gun...since they know my interests.
at home and at work i am known as 'the bear' .... i like to think its because i am fierce and surly.... to be feared greatly. my son, the first born, has to spoil this by pointing out that he gave me this nickname because i was like Pooh bear... [ dont listen to this, i am to be feared...please ]
the rifle was a custom order from Henry, a 44 magnum. the pictures tell it all.
most touching gift i have gotten, and is instantly my favorite rifle... a true ' bear gun'

Re: retirement surprise: 'bear rifle"
Congratulations to you! A gift like that says a lot about the person receiving it.
I happen to be on Kodiak visiting MY grandkids! And here for the birth of another. You're right sir, it's the best job in the world.

Re: retirement surprise: 'bear rifle"
That's wonderful!
Our little granddaughter will be a year old next month. I'm going to pick up a Savage Rascal for her shortly. Just haven't decided on what color.
Enjoy your time together!
