3/14/2018 11:25:00 AMAs a young hunter, I was really excited to host my own hunting party and after several requests, I finally received permission to do so from my parents. Even though I lived in a rural area of Franklin in the mid-1960s, there were not a lot of boys in my seventh grade classes that were hunters. There were just a handful of us that discussed our squ...

1/11/2018 8:45:00 AMMy last memory ended with me stating that I remember the hunting shots I missed more thoroughly than I do the ones that I made. I truly believe it all goes back to an experience I had in high school. It wasn’t hunting, it was a different scenario as Franklin and Greendale High Schools were playing for the basketball championship in the old P...
