Old Friends

It's like "deja' vu all over again!" (to quote Yogi Berra) The same weekend we moved Eleanor, Jimmie and his wife Millie came to town for a gunshow. Jimmie is President of a Bitterroot Valley Marine association, and had a table selling raffle tickets for Two commemorative M-! Garand rifles and a shotgun. Proceeds are going to families of Marines who are Killed In Action (KIA for anyone obsessed with Military Acronyms). We managed to get together at the show, and afterword for dinner.

Jimmie is the guy who gave me some financial advice years ago while we were on a hunting trip.
"Gary," he said, "If you owe the bank $5000, you have a problem. If you ow the bank $5,000,000, the bank has the problem!" There will be more on Jimmie on a new blog I'm going to start.
