A curse on you Chuck White!

But a good one however.
Chuck introduced me to the forum.
I spend altogether too much time on here.
Just reread Jeff's family history and a number of other threads.
Sunday Morning already half shot.
Jeff, was his name pronounced Doonus as in doughnut or donus as in donald?
Interesting to note that Jeff's avitar appears as his new one even on ancient posts.

As in donut.  donus
was also the name of one of dads brothers that accidently and non-fatal, shot one of his brothers and himself. Once when he absentmindedly set a shotgun shell, primer down on the pot bellied stove. The brothers took turns sleeping in the bed where you could hang your feet over the hole in the floor framed above the stove to let heat up. Turns out it was Donus's turn and nobody noticed the shell when the nightly fire was built. Some of the scatter hit him in the feet

He also shot another brother through and through in the shoulder shooting at a fox with a 32 winchester carbine during deer hunting. He was following the running fox and never saw the old red plaid suit on the next ridge. He never hunted after that i was told, and last i knew, that coat with the bullet hole still hangs in the front closet of the old house.

Thanks Jeff.

Pete:
Take a minute or two and try and estimate how much you have learned because of the FF.
If you make it to seventy twenty two you'll be close to a walking encyclopedia if you retain 
just a fraction of what you've learned.
Enjoy the elevenses.
