Dear Bill, I think every young man needs a man in their life like Virge. You were so lucky to have him in your life. I know you say this is fiction with a whole lot of truth mixed in. I am enjoying this book. Great writing, Shirley

Comment from Selina Stambi
I am really getting into this wonderful summer story of remembrance.
Virge and Rabbit are great characters.
By the way, may I ask why the boy is called Rabbit - is it a pet name?
Continues to be a good nostalgic read bhogg!

Comment from AprilShower
What a wonderful story, bhogg. Virge Gates is a very wise man. Every child should have a friend like him. I certainly enjoyed this story. It is very well written. If I still had a sixth star to give, I would give this chapter one.
This was not in the story. It was in the Background information and is a typing error:
that he is(to) stay
April :o)

My grandparent's would be in the kitchen - drop the apostrophe
My mother's kitchen was the hub of our house too :-)
Are you ready for me to teach you how to use it? - add question mark
They say necessity is the mother of invention - I love Virge's explanation of why he became such a good shot :-) Brooke

BHogg,
Wonderful chapter of life & death lessons. So many kids grow up without the lesson of death that comes from shooting animals. I'm glad Rabbit understands at a young age. Well-written with perfect pacing.

Comment from c_lucas
My first gun was a Red Ryder pump with a long barrel. I believe it was thirty inches. My one and only bird was a Blue Jay. Since I killed it, I had to clean it and Mother showed me how to fry it. The last time I ever hunted for my meal. (LOL) This is very well written with a smooth flow of words.

What a good story and what a good lesson for the boy. I have grandsons 8 and 10. I think I will let them read this. You explained the gun clearly.....I had no idea. Good job!
