To all of you who have tried. Everyone has a different take on their father, but I think overall they are a positive force. My mother really loved me, took me to the old museums and the planetarium in DC, and bought me books on dinosaurs to encourage me to read when I was in elementary school, but she wasn't a lot of fun. My dad fished and hunted and lived to drink. Until I finished high school I thought he was a glass blower. He had a Winchester mod 70 that was originally in 300 H&H but had it rechambered for Weatherby and he could shoot it. When I showed him my T rex book and said it weighed 5 tons, he looked at it and said " I bet that weatherby would knock his dick in the dirt." That was when I knew then I was going down the hoot owl trail.
