My first spring gobbler hunting trip was in 1974. I carried a Winchester 'Red Letter' 16ga and a Lynch 'Jet Slate'.  The call and the gun was handed down to me by my hunting mentor. I carried that little call for years then put it away. An older gentleman that went to the same Church as myself and hunted the same woods as myself passed about ten years ago. His grandson has a little boy now (4 years old) and was named after his great grandfather. I really liked that old fellow so I put that little call in a presentation box with a hand written note and gave it to my old friends son to give that little boy (his grandson) someday. I figure I'll be gone by the time he gets it but that note will tell him what a great guy his great grandfather was and how he influenced me not only from a Christian standpoint but from an outdoorsmans standpoint. I hope someday that little boy will bring in a gobbler with that call and more importantly turn out to be a fine example of a man like his great grandfather was. I have a LOT of memories with that call and typing this really brings them to light again. Man, 1974 seems a lifetime ago.....I must be getting old.
That's a great thing you did there.
