    IRM,
    I too recently lost my next door neighbor of just over 40 years the 2nd week of March. His Daughter, our town Mayor gave me a few of his hand guns and some of the boxed ammo with them over Memorial weekend. Same ammo I had reloaded for him. His first name was also Bill. I've made plans to shoot them with his only son Matt this coming week. It's hard looking over the fence knowing he won't ever yell back again, with the obscenities' only a Teamster could fine tune.

    So... It looks like we're in the same boat now. Both of us needing to get to the range and send a few in honor of our long time neighbors that became friends.
    If we lived closer I'd pick you up so we could honor both at the same time.

    To Neighbors that became Lifelong Friends

    And as I replied early on, I know the commitment involved when it comes to helping a loved one compete in the Equestrian World, both physically and financially.

    Will wait for your report on shooting your 'Bill' and I'll share mine here also.
