Tinker,

Thank you for the very cordial invitation. Yes, we'll have a get together in California. I am planning to drive there next year on Route 62 and we should get some shooting. I have a very good friend in Arizona who is a gunsmith and restorer who would join us with his wife - the lady is an accomplished big game hunter herself and I shall perform my penance cooking and mixing cocktails.

Hopefully, Oldsarge could join as well along with other august members of the DRSS.

No elephant, Indian style, unfortunately - we'll have to make do with my Ford.

We'll plan it and have a very good time.

Cheers, my friend,
