Tracey,
I love the photo of me holding the badge and name plate of my grandfather. What a great experience! I now have his gun. Joe Duke was a remarkable person and "johnny on the spot." He started the whole ball rolling for me to get the gun and also told me just how to do it until I got the gun. I'd tell him okay I'll get to it done next week, and the next week he's calling to find out if I did it. I say I'm working on it. Finally he called for a second time and I told him I'd have it taken care of on Monday. I did and he called again and I told him it's done and all the paper work was completed and sent to Arkansas Gun Shop. After receiving the gun in the mail, and holding it, I couldn't thank him enough! I called him to thank him. He's a great guy. I hope to drive and visit him and his wife this summer. I hope, I hope , I hope! What a day!
Jealous. Ahhhhh I love California. I love home.
